IT Consultancy Services model contract

Before proceeding, users of this Contract should have regard to the following assumptions:

1. This Contract relates to the provision of information technology consultancy services only. It is not intended to be used for the provision of services other than services relating to information technology.
2. This Contract is intended to be used for simple information technology consultancy services. It is not intended to be used for the supply of complex or multifaceted information technology services, such as software development services.
3. This Contract is not a deed of standing offer and, as a result, is not suitable for panel arrangements or as an arrangement facilitating the hire of information technology contractor personnel.
4. This Contract assumes contracting between a Commonwealth Agency and one service provider, in contrast to multiple contractors. The terms and suitability of the Contract will need to be carefully considered if arrangements are to involve more than one contractor. Advice should be sought in such circumstances.
5. The Contract assumes contracting between a Commonwealth Agency and a non-government service provider. Some of the provisions of the document may not be appropriate to an arrangement between two or more non-government entities or between two or more Commonwealth Agencies. Advice should be sought in these circumstances.
6. Except where specifically provided, the Agreed Terms are not intended to accommodate variations and are not designed for alteration. Where appropriate, provision is made in Schedule 1 (Contract Details) for variables to be inserted and in some cases, limited departure from the Agreed Terms is accommodated. Users should ensure that relevant variables are included in the Contract Details, where required.
7. The clauses in this document relating to confidentiality, audit and privacy are publicly available clauses recommended for use by the Department of Finance and Deregulation, the Australian National Audit Office and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner respectively.
8. It is strongly recommended that users of this document refer to the accompanying User Notes for further instruction.
