Procurement lawyers and probity advisers
Strategic legal support for procurement contracts and compliance
Procurement is a critical function that requires careful legal oversight to mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and secure favourable terms. RedeMont’s procurement lawyers provide expert legal advice to government and large private enterprise across all aspects of procurement, from early market engagement and expression of interest processes through to formal written tender processes culminating in contract negotiation and finalisation.
Whether engaging with government bodies, corporate suppliers, or private contractors, our team ensures procurement processes align with Australian contract law, competition regulations, and best practice to ensure appropriate and defensible outcomes that adhere to probity principles. We work closely with businesses and government to draft, review, and negotiate process terms and conditions and proposed transaction documents in support of efficient, for-for-purpose procurements.
Our legal expertise extends to procurement policy development for local councils, embracing strategic contracting procedures to support compliance with legal and regulatory obligations while optimising efficiency and organisational agility. With a client-focused approach and a deep understanding of the procurement landscape, RedeMont delivers clear, actionable legal solutions that drive value and protect organisational interests. Contact our team to discuss your procurement legal requirements.
As probity advisers we also prepare evaluation and probity plans that keep significant procurements defensible, transparent and on schedule.

Frequently asked questions
What is probity in procurement?
Probity is the evidence of integrity in a procurement process: fairness, transparency, accountability and defensible decision making. A probity adviser sets the rules before the process starts (usually in a probity plan), monitors conduct during evaluation, and documents why decisions were made so they withstand later scrutiny.
What is the procurement process?
A structured procurement typically runs through planning, market approach (such as a tender or request for proposal), evaluation, negotiation and contract award. Legal input at the planning stage prevents most of the problems that surface later: unclear evaluation criteria, non-compliant tenders and challenges to the award decision.
What is procurement in construction?
Construction procurement is how a principal buys the design and delivery of a project: selecting the contracting model, running the tender, and locking the risk allocation into the contract suite. The procurement decisions made before a project starts shape everything that follows on site.
What is an RFP in procurement?
A request for proposal (RFP) invites suppliers to propose how they would meet a need, rather than just quoting a price. RFPs suit complex requirements where methodology matters, and they demand carefully drafted evaluation criteria so the process stays fair and the outcome stays defensible.
