Land services commerialisation project

The land services commercialisation project involved the appointment of a private operator to deliver a range of land services functions on behalf of the SA Government. Following a four-stage procurement process, Land Services SA was appointed to deliver certain lands titling and property valuation services for 40 years.

Our review assessed whether:

• the potential costs, benefits and risks of the proposed transaction were properly evaluated before proceeding with the commercialisation
• a fair, open and transparent procurement process was undertaken to select the service provider
• the SA Government and service provider’s compliance with the transaction documents and contract management risks were properly managed.
