ACT Government Notifiable Invoices Over $25,000

The Notifiable Invoices Register is published by the ACT Government's Goods and Services Procurement Branch. It details invoices valued at $25,000 or more for goods, services, or works, published within 21 days after the month of payment. The dataset includes a Procurement Unique Identifier for linking procurement activities and reflects reporting entity reorganizations effective from August 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze government expenditure patterns based on invoice values and payment dates.
• Track procurement activities across their lifecycle using the Procurement Unique Identifier.
• Monitor spending by specific government directorates based on the reporting entity structure.

Strengths

• Invoice value threshold is explicitly defined as $25,000 or more.
• Includes a Procurement Unique Identifier for linking related procurement data.
• Data is published with a defined timeliness (within 21 days after the month of payment).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• A small proportion of invoices lack a recorded 'date received' according to the description.
