Procurement Policy Alignment Statement


Purpose


This Procurement Policy Alignment Statement outlines how Dean & Ling Executive aligns its service delivery with Queensland Government procurement expectations. It is intended to provide assurance to procuring entities that our executive search and recruitment services are delivered in a manner consistent with applicable procurement policies, frameworks and principles.


Scope of Services


Dean & Ling Executive delivers executive search and recruitment services within the General Goods and Services procurement category, specifically the Professional Services subcategory.


Our services are advisory and professional in nature and do not involve the supply of physical goods.


Policy and Framework Alignment


Dean & Ling Executive aligns its service delivery with:


  • The Queensland Procurement Policy 2026; and
  • Applicable Queensland Government procurement frameworks, guidelines and principles relevant to professional services engagements.


This alignment supports consistent, ethical and accountable procurement outcomes across all engagements with Queensland Government agencies and entities.


Tailored Engagement Approach


Where category strategies, procurement guidelines, whole-of-government arrangements, or agency-specific requirements apply, Dean & Ling Executive will:


  • Tailor its recruitment methodology to align with the procuring entity’s requirements.
  • Adapt reporting, documentation and governance arrangements to support compliance and auditability; and
  • Engage transparently with procurement and business stakeholders throughout the engagement.


Dean & Ling Executive does not presume the existence or application of unpublished, confidential or internal policy content, and relies solely on formally communicated requirements provided by the procuring entity.


Ethical and Defensible Procurement Outcomes


This approach is designed to support:


  • Ethical and responsible procurement practices
  • Value for money outcomes
  • Transparency and accountability
  • Defensible and well-documented decision-making across all executive search and recruitment engagements.
