(1) The size of price adjustments received by individual providers in component two will be determined based on contract reviews consistent with the Delivering Community Services in Partnership Policy. The exact nature of these contract reviews will vary by contract and by Government agency, and will be outlined in agency specific implementation plans to be developed in consultation with the not-for-profit community sector. The contract reviews are intended to result in fair and appropriate prices for the services that Government purchases from the not-for-profit community sector.
(2) No, on the basis of the need for significant education and training of the public and not-for-profit community sectors on the implementation of contracting reforms consistent with the Delivering Community Services in Partnership Policy. In preparation for the roll-out of component two, Government agencies are required to develop a clear strategy for rolling-out contract reviews and implementing key contracting reforms and to engage with the not-for-profit community sector in developing implementation plans. Similarly, not-for-profit community sector organisations need time to develop appropriate costing and pricing models, to transition to a tendered price based contracting environment.
