Consultancy services
The AFP engages consultants in response to the need for skills currently unavailable within the Agency, for specialised or professional skills or for independent research or assessment.
In accordance with the Commissioner's Financial Instructions, and the Department of Finance and Administration Guidance No. 15, the reporting of publicly available opportunities to do business with the AFP are published via Austender at www.tenders.gov.au, except for those instances where the commercial benefit being offered is so small as to not warrant the time and procedures involved.
Each consultancy task is defined in a specification or brief, and bid comparisons are assessed against identical, pre-determined evaluation criteria outlined to consultants at the time bids are sought.
