Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs) Divisions 1 and 2 are the rules APS officials must follow when procuring. Appendix A lists the exemptions from the rules of Division 2 and from rules 4.7, 4.8 and 7.26 of Division 1.

Limited tender involves approaching one or more potential suppliers directly and requesting they make submissions without having to comply with the process for open tenders. Rules for limited tender are stated in the CPRs and include circumstances where limited tender may be conducted.

This course provides APS officials with information necessary for applying CPR Exemptions and Conditions for Limited Tender.
