Register of government contracts
The GIPA Act requires government agencies to record and publish certain information about some contracts with private sector bodies.
Contracts included in the register of government contracts are those:
- between an agency and a private sector contractor
- for a value of $150,000 or more, that involve:
- the contractor undertaking a specific project such as construction, infrastructure or property development
- the contractor agreeing to provide specific goods or services
- the transfer or lease of real property.
The Office’s register of government contracts includes details of the name of the contractor and any related company involved in the contract, the start date and duration of the contract, the goods and services to be provided under the contract, the amount payable to the contractor, any renegotiation provisions, tender methods if applicable, and any payment provisions for operational or maintenance services under the contract.
