The ANAO could assess the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA) policies and practices for procuring goods and services — including planning, market engagement, risk management, probity arrangements, tender evaluation, contract management and transparency. As a non-prescribed corporate Commonwealth entity, the NDIA is not required to comply with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules. A March 2023 Independent Review of Services Australia and NDIA Procurement and Contracting identified deficiencies and deviations from good practice in relation to NDIA’s procurement practices, and made recommendations to improve documentation, probity, competition, reporting, and value-for-money assessments. In 2024–25, the NDIA reported 40 contracts with an original value of over $1 million, the combined value of which was over $484 million.
