Government contracts

• between an agency and a private sector contractor

• for a value of $150,000 or more, and 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.

Employment contracts do not need to be included in the register.

Different classes of contracts

The Act provides for three different classes of contracts, each with different information disclosure requirements.

Class 1 contracts are those that have, or are likely to have, a value of $150,000

Class 2 contracts are class 1 contracts where:

• there has not been a public tender process and the terms and conditions of the contract have been negotiated directly with the contractor, or
• the contract was the subject of a tender (whether public or not) but the terms and conditions have been substantially negotiated with the contractor
• the obligations of one or more parties to maintain or operate infrastructure or assets
• could continue for 10 years or more, and the contract involves a privately financed project (as defined by Treasury) or the exchange of significant assets.

If a class 2 contract has a value, or likely value of more than $5 million, it becomes a class 3 contract. Agencies must publish a copy of a class 3 contract on the register of government contracts.
