Supplementary statement 5 — Financial matters
5a. Claims and losses
There were 10 contingent claims dealing with trespass, negligent misstatement, defamation and workers compensation.
The likely outcome of these cases is unknown; the estimate total of the claims (on advice from the Attorney-General's Department) is $10 778 000.
There were three payments in 1996-97 for outstanding litigation costs totalling $55 000.
5b. Purchases of not less than $2 000 which were not advertised
In 1996-97, the number of purchasing arrangements of not less than $2 000 that were not gazetted in the Commonwealth (Purchasing Disposals) Gazette was 101.
Reasons provided for non-gazettal included: unawareness of the requirement, high staff turnover, time constraints and unavailability of gazettal software.
To ensure that the Department continues to meet the gazettal requirement in 1997-98, procurement officers will be reminded periodically of their obligations. The Department will continue to employ a help desk facility to assist procurement officers meet Commonwealth procurement requirements.
