When to use the Short Form Terms and Conditions (social services)
When buying social services, there are a few different contract templates you could use.
This guide will help you decide whether the Short Form Terms and Conditions are suitable for what you want to do.
Use for contracts where:
- the provider will give standard services or follow established processes
- there are low risks for the member of the public if the provider doesn't perform the services properly
- there are no risks associated with transitioning service delivery to a new provider
- service providers do not need to keep significant or special licences, registrations, insurance or certification.
Don't use for contracts:
- for assets where there is one-off funding greater than $5,000 (e.g. plant or equipment associated with service delivery)
- for general goods or services
- for capital assets and equipment
- for ICT.
