If you propose to subcontract any part or all of the services we’ve contracted you to deliver, you must discuss it with your DCJ contract manager before you apply for our consent.
If you are proposing to subcontract all the services, you’ve been contracted to deliver, this would be a concern to DCJ. You are required to demonstrate why you can no longer deliver the services and discuss this with your DCJ contract manager.
This gives you an opportunity to discuss the proposed arrangements and ensure you fully understand the additional responsibilities and obligations of subcontracting.
Each third party you propose to subcontract must be capable of delivering the agreed services on your behalf, on terms and conditions consistent with those you’ve agreed in the contract with us.
It’s important to understand that if consent is granted, you’ll be responsible for the performance of any third party you subcontract to deliver the services.
For this reason, it’s important you carry out the necessary due diligence before making any legally binding commitments.
This ensures you engage an appropriate organisation that can comply with your contractual obligations to DCJ by:
In the case of subcontracting to another organisation in a consortium or fee-for-service arrangement, your due diligence also includes:
You are required to consider and declare any conflict of interest, actual, perceived, or potential.
Your application must:
You’re required to declare in your application that you’ve performed due diligence checks.
You are required to submit a document to support the legal status of the third-party. For example:
You are only required to submit one document. Which document is required depends on the subcontractor organisation as identified in the list above; for example, a private company requires an ASIC extract, a registered charity requires an ACNC extract.
