CDU-NTG Partnership Agreement-Procurement Process\n\nUnder the Partnership Agreement,the Accountable Officer of each NT Government agencyis exempt from the need to comply with the Procurement Act 1995 for the duration of theAgreement.  \nThis exemption may be used where the services required fall under the core outcomes of thePartnership Agreement and following the modified procurement process specified in thePartnership Agreement.  \nFrom May 2020,the procurement process was simplified to reflect the intent of thePartnership Agreement with more flexibility and reduced administrative processes(seeFigure 1 and Figure 2).  \nThe contract for procurement under the Partnership Agreement is based on a HeadAgreement that establishes the standard commercial terms agreed to by CDU and the NTGovernment for the engagement of services,thereby removing the need to duplicate thisstep for every individual procurement.Individual engagements form schedules to the HeadAgreement and only contain project-specific information.  \nThe process is applicable to all contract values.  \nFigure 1:Partnership Agreement procurement framework  \n\n| GOVERNANCE  \u003Cbr>CONTRACT  \u003Cbr>TEMPLATES   |
