Home Affairs didn't document its reasons for asking a little-known company to apply for a now-controversial contract for services on Manus Island or demonstrate that it gave value for money, the audit office has found.

Home Affairs didn't document its reasons for asking a little-known company to apply for a now-controversial contract for services on Manus Island or demonstrate that it gave value for money, the audit office has found.

That includes a $423 million contract awarded through a closed tender process in 2017 to Paladin, whose Australian arm was registered to a beach shack on Kangaroo Island until early 2019. "The department was aware of 11 providers that could have potentially offered some or all elements of the required garrison support and welfare services but it did not document its reasons for requesting quotations from the three selected providers ," the report states.
