Government
Procurement, audit, and the asset register. Open by default.
Local councils, agencies, and government-owned entities running Odoo for procurement compliance, structured tendering, asset registers, audit trails, and the operational finance every public body has to defend in front of an auditor.
Processes
What we configure for Government.
Configure the standard product first; customise only when standard truly cannot.
-
01
Procurement compliance
Vendor onboarding with probity checks, structured RFQ and tender flow, evaluation matrix, contract award. Each step logged, each decision evidenced, each document retained.
-
02
Tender management
Open, selective, and direct tenders with the workflow your delegations require. Public tender notices, supplier questions logged, addenda issued, evaluations recorded.
-
03
Asset register
Land, buildings, plant, fleet, IT equipment with depreciation rules, maintenance schedules, and the disposal workflow the audit office wants to see.
-
04
Audit trails
Every change to a transaction, a record, or a master-data item logged with user, timestamp, and prior value. The audit walk-through that takes hours, not weeks.
-
05
Service delivery finance
Cost capture by service line, output costing, fee-and-charges schedules, the financial accountability that public budgeting demands.
Pain, addressed
Where Government clients usually start.
-
01 · The pain
Tender process leaks, decisions are second-guessed, audits find gaps.
Our answer
Workflow-enforced tender process with delegations, evaluation matrix, decision evidence, and document retention. The probity defence is the workflow itself.
-
02 · The pain
Asset register is reconciled annually, painfully, against scattered spreadsheets.
Our answer
Live asset register in Odoo, depreciation runs monthly, additions and disposals workflow-controlled, reconciliation a daily exercise rather than an annual project.
-
03 · The pain
FOI request requires reconstructing a transaction trail from disconnected systems.
Our answer
Audit log per record, document attachments, decision evidence in one place. FOI fulfilment becomes an export, not an investigation.
-
04 · The pain
Procurement compliance is a checklist nobody runs end to end.
Our answer
Procurement compliance encoded in the workflow: thresholds, mandatory quotes, conflict-of-interest checks, contract approval. The system rejects the non-compliant request before it reaches the buyer.

Frequently asked
Questions about Government.
Can Odoo handle our procurement thresholds and delegations? +
Yes. Approval matrix configured per requisition value, per category, per cost centre, per delegate. Delegations are workflow rules; they enforce themselves.
What about data sovereignty? +
Odoo can run in your sovereign region or on your own infrastructure. We configure encryption, access control, and audit logging to match the public-sector security framework that applies to you.
Does Odoo do public-sector accounting (fund accounting, encumbrance)? +
With configuration, yes. Funds as analytic dimensions, encumbrance tracked through purchase orders, budget vs commitment vs actual reporting. Specialised public-sector ERPs go further; we will tell you on a discovery call where the boundary is for your scale.
How do we handle records retention for FOI and archives? +
Retention rules per record type, archival workflow at retention expiry, export to your government records management system. Compliance is configurable, not heroic.
