The EPS commenced sourcing operations under the centralised procurement model in 2015 and has responsibility for the sourcing of goods and services in its sector-led categories namely Laboratory/Research, Agriculture and Veterinary and Library Goods & Services.
The OGP, EPS and their sector partners establish central arrangements and contracts that enable all public sector bodies to procure goods and services efficiently. As the State purchases a wide range of commonly used goods and services, the sourcing model is structured into 16 expenditure categories to support strategic procurement and effective contract management.
The EPS operates a dedicated, customer-service focused approach to deliver a high-quality professional service to both clients and suppliers. The EPS Sourcing team consists of experienced Category Managers, Senior Category Specialists, Buyers, and Procurement Administration professionals who provide both proactive and responsive information, assistance, and support to all stakeholders.
Our Category Specialists in the Laboratory Team are responsible for the sourcing and procurement of Laboratory/Research Diagnostics, Services and Equipment including large scale lab equipment, small scale lab equipment, lab consumables, lab gases, chemicals and reagents etc.
Our Category Specialists in the Agriculture/Veterinary and Library Team are responsible for the sourcing and procurement of Agriculture/Veterinary Goods and Services including large scale equipment/machinery and small scale equipment as well as books, journals and periodicals etc. in the library space.
The Education Strategic Category manages a range of bespoke procurement solutions for the Education Sector. In instances where the OGP sourcing teams are not in a position to onboard a procurement support request from an education sector PSB, for goods and services under one of its central categories, these requests are triaged to the EPS team. The team take on the responsibility of sourcing these projects, acting in the best interest and on behalf of the education stakeholder.
