Annual Procurement Plan (APP)

The Annual Procurement Plan (APP) provides information on significant procurements CSIRO plan to undertake over the next twelve months. The APP includes a concise strategic procurement outlook statement, which broadly discusses any key, major or strategic initiative from which CSIRO expects procurement to arise.

You can view CSIRO’s current financial year procurement plan on AusTender.

Suppliers are encouraged to visit the AusTender website to register their interest and obtain notification of planned procurements being released to the open market.

How to respond to CSIRO tenders

CSIRO conducts procurements over $400,000 through the Australian Government’s AusTender System and tenders are published on the AusTender website.

Tenders must be submitted electronically through AusTender by the closing time and date specified in the tender documents. Late applications will not be accepted. At the sole and absolute discretion of CSIRO, the closing time and date may be extended.
