Closed petition Only award Government contracts after a full, transparent tender process

Closed on 10 May 2021

Contracts should be awarded to companies and organisations on merit, based on their ability to complete the task on time, budget and to desired specifications. To ensure this happens Government contracts should only be awarded following a full, transparent tender process.

We believe the Government is awarding many contracts to organisations unfit to fulfil the project (for example PPE), which is putting front line workers at risk, wasting time, wasting taxpayer’s money and undermining public faith in the Government.

Government contracts should be entirely transparent and able to be scrutinised. There should be an independent regulator to hold the Government to account and ensure fairness.
