Revocation of the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines - January 2005 (29/04/2009)

What this does: This instrument formally cancels (revokes) the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines — January 2005, which were the rules telling Australian Government agencies how to buy goods and services.

Who it affects: • Commonwealth government departments and agencies who had to follow the 2005 procurement rules • These entities now need to follow the replacement guidelines from December 2008 instead

Why it matters: This is housekeeping to ensure only one set of procurement rules is in force at a time. It prevents confusion by removing the old 2005 version when the new 2008 version takes effect.

When it takes effect: The revocation kicks in on whichever happens first: • When the new December 2008 Guidelines are officially registered, or • When this revocation document itself is registered
