QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (14), ‘Reduce the administrative burden on Government Agencies and community sector organisations associated with service agreements by:
(a) permitting subcontract or consortia arrangements;
(b) implementing a single three-year pre-qualification process for community sector organisations, to be utilised by all Government Agencies;
(c) developing standard core contractual conditions, documentation and reporting to be utilised by Government Agencies; and
(d) moving to longer term contractual arrangements where appropriate.’
and I ask -
(1) Who will be responsible for overseeing the subcontract or consortia arrangements?
(2) Will these subcontracts go through the normal tender arrangements?
(3) What is the process involved in the single three-year pre-qualification?
(4) When will the single three-year pre-qualification process be implemented?
(5) Who will be responsible for the development of standard core contractual conditions, documentation and reporting to be utilised by Government Agencies?
(6) Will the compliance by community sector organisations to meet obligations under these new contractual conditions and documentation require more work to be undertaken than is presently the case?
(7) What are the conditions that would need to exist for a community sector organisation to have a long term contractual arrangement?
(8) How long is considered to be a ‘longer term’?
(9) Have any costings been done on the implementation of this recommendation and if so, what are they?
(10) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation 14?
(11) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number 14 of the Economic Audit Committee?
