My Department's statement of strategy for 2005-07 incorporates an objective of promoting procurement management reform by developing policies, processes and practices in support of a more strategic approach to contract procurement within the Department and those bodies under its aegis. In accordance with this objective, my Department implements existing and emerging guidelines from the Department of Finance on contracts planned by it directly and by local authorities and agencies within my Department's remit.
