An embarrassing blunder in the Australian Taxation Office's tender process derailed a vital $9 million national printing and distribution contract, internal ATO documents reveal.

The ATO bungled the tender for its key annual Tax Time printing contract by posting commercial-in-confidence data of one of its contractors on a government website, forcing the ATO to start the process from scratch.

The Sydney-based company that was the victim of the lapse told the ATO that it had committed a serious breach of government procurement rules and had compromised the entire tender process.

The paper trail, seen by Fairfax, also reveals the damage control exercise undertaken by the agency late last year with lawyers, probity advisers and independent financial adviser brought in to advise the Tax Office on how to manage the fallout from the blunder.

The three-year contract to print and distribute the Tax Time material is valued at $9 million.
