Government Procurement

Government departments have had increased requirements around procurement, tender, and contract management due diligence over the last few years. This has come about during heightened scrutiny of government procurement processes.

Good practice involves a thorough reputation check on contractors prior to engagement, but best practice also involves ongoing checks throughout the contract period.

DATAV3 has a range of options for government departments looking to up their due diligence processes. For departments in local, state, and federal government with less on their plate, our instant court searches show a good level of due diligence before awarding a contract.

It will check millions of court records from around the country, which means if a potential contractor has had court activity in QLD but you are based in VIC, you don’t need to know to manually search other state’s courts. It’s a valuable step that can save a decision maker from embarrassment down the track, and provides a trail of checks and balances that ensure you make qualified decisions. Plus, many court listings disappear after a few weeks, meaning these searches cannot be done anywhere else without added hoops to jump through and time you don’t have.

For many departments in local, state, and federal government, we recommend our PROCUREMENT plan which enables ongoing monitoring of court and other government activity of contractors. It’s that extra bit of protection to ensure you can make appropriate action plans or take steps to best manage potential problems. It’s best to know from DATAV3, rather than from a journalist asking for comment.

The PROCUREMENT plan will boost your due diligence process on a systemic level, and includes up to 100 instant court search reports per month, plus unlimited general searches of our entire database (13 million+ government records spanning courts, parliament, ASIC, etc), alerts of new activity which occurs during the life of the contract, and more. AI is also coming soon and our users will be the first to be notified about it - join our waitlist.

Audit trails are also available for when there are zero results (evidence that a search was performed is important). Please contact us if you require audit trails as part of your due diligence process.

Our instant court searches are compiled into a Litigation Report. These reports can be used to inquire about the details of a court case.
