Part 10: Procurement oversight Section 108: Procurement investigations
Subsection (1) gives an appropriate authority the power to investigate whether a contracting authority is complying with the requirements of this legislation (and any regulations made under it).
	Subsection (2) provides that the appropriate authority may require the contracting authority to provide documents (which includes information, see subsection (5)) or give other assistance. The appropriate authority must issue the contracting authority with a notice which specifies or describes the documents or assistance required and can only request those documents reasonably required for the investigation or such assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.
	Subsection (3) sets out that the contracting authority must comply with the notice requirements by the deadline specified in the notice. The deadline must be at least 30 days, but can be longer if the appropriate authority agrees.
	Subsection (4) sets out that the appropriate authority can choose to publish the results of a procurement investigation including any recommendation subsequently made.
	Subsection (5) provides that such investigations are to be called "procurement investigations" and may be carried out with regard to any contracting authority other than certain listed authorities. The subsection also specifies that only documents within the possession or control of the contracting authority can be requested.
