The new clauses that have been added to the model contracts relate to the following recent legislative changes:
- Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 which came into effect on 15 September 2012;
- Australian Government ICT Sustainability Plan 2010-2015; and
- New security procedures and terms as outlined in the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework.
SourceIT model contracts were developed in 2005 following the review of the Government Information Technology Terms and Conditions (GITC) contracting framework. The newly updated version which we are in the process of finalising will result in version V2.3.
SourceIT model contracts provide contract templates from which Australian Government Agencies are able to efficiently develop sound commercial agreements. They were developed following significant consultation with agencies and industry with a purpose to enable and encourage good business practice and to minimise the risk of disagreements between agencies and suppliers.
The suite of model contracts is designed to be used in simple procurement of:
- Hardware Acquisition and Support;
- Licence and Support of Commercial off-the-shelf Software;
- Licence of Commercial off-the-shelf Software (without support); and
- IT Consultancy Services.
The contracts are also flexible enough to allow for the inclusion of project specific details.
