What you need to know
  • When you award a contract, use an existing template where one exists.
  • If there's no template, or an existing template needs to be modified, you may need to draft new contract terms.
  • To do this, you may have to meet certain requirements.
  • Certain categories of procurement also have special requirements, such as professional services and ICT.
  • You may also have the option of using a multi-agency access arrangement, which lets you piggyback off another agency’s existing contract.
  • Learn how to plan, conduct and analyse the outcomes of commercial negotiations to achieve business objectives.
