Answer

Yes, the Broader Outcomes requirements in the Government Procurement Rules continue to apply to procurement undertaken by officials. There have been no significant changes since the RiverLink Melling Transport Improvements Alliance agreement was signed in April 2025. The Procurement Management Plan is currently undergoing its annual review to ensure continuous alignment with the requirements.
