Procurement and Grants

Last Updated Dec 2010

Procurement and Grants is responsible for managing the procurement, purchasing, stores and grants functions for DFC. This includes the procurement of goods and services and distribution of grants to ensure that value for money outcomes are achieved in accordance with Government and DFC policies and guidelines.

We provide:

  • Advice on procurement processes
  • Management of quotation, tender and negotiation process and final selection of suppliers
  • Management of contracts and supplier performance
  • Market, industry and product knowledge
  • Advice on identifying and managing procurement risk

DFC is embedding socially responsible practices into its procurement operations.

To support this strategy, Procurement and Grants wants to hear from you if you are an organisation that has a commitment to supporting people with a disability or supporting people from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.

If you can demonstrate a commitment to either group and wish to be included on DFC’s Supplier Register please email dfcprocurementcontracts@dfc.sa.gov.au.

Not for profit (NFP) organisations

We also help NFP organisations gain access to DFC contracts and we can support our partners through their own specific procurement process.

Currently, NFP organisations have access to the following DFC contracts: 

  • Office cleaning
  • Stationery
  • Corporate Livery (ie coporate printed material)

This access allows partner organisations to access DFC terms and conditions. In the future, NFP organisations may have access to other DFC contracts such as:

  • Courier services
  • Debt collection
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Records storage
  • Security guards
  • Training (eg first aid etc)
