What to do if you want to change agreed subcontracting arrangements

For agreed subcontracting to other organisations 

The conditions of consent to subcontract include notifying us immediately, in writing, if:

  • you decide not to subcontract any or all of the agreed services to any or all of the agreed organisations, or end a subcontracting arrangement
  • you want to change and/or terminate the subcontracting arrangement with any or all of the agreed organisations, or
  • any of the agreed organisations is involved in a merger, acquisition or amalgamation.

If there is any change to your approved subcontracting arrangements, DCJ will review the changes to assess whether we will consent to the change. Whilst we will progress our decision, it is important to maintain operations to ensure service continuity for clients.  

If we consider any change to the subcontracting arrangements will pose a risk to delivery of the services, we may not consent to the change.

The conditions of consent to subcontract also require you to make a new application for consent to existing or pre-approved subcontractors if you want to either:

  • subcontract any services other than the agreed services, or
  • subcontract to any organisation other than the agreed organisations.
