Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption
The Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (OICAC) has completed an investigation into a Northern Territory Government procurement and has made no findings of improper conduct.
The OICAC commenced an investigation into the conduct of public officers in a Northern Territory Government department following allegations that those officers may have engaged in unsatisfactory conduct while undertaking a select tender procurement.
The investigation found that there was insufficient evidence of unsatisfactory conduct, but that the public officers had failed to adhere to best practice and that Northern Territory Government procurement guidelines were either not fit for purpose and/or poorly understood by public officers.
