It offers structured guidance across key focus areas, providing a clear set of activities and supporting actions to help IT Service Owners manage IT contracts, and drive ongoing value from the vendor relationship.  \n• It applies to all IT Service Owners, as outlined in the IT Service Ownership Standard with responsibility for Tier 1 (Core), Tier 2 (Mission Critical) and Tier 3 (Business Critical) IT Services. Elements of this guide (such as governance framework and vendor performance management) may support IT Service Owners of Tier 4 (Business Important) and Tier 5 (Non-Critical) IT Services seeking to strengthen their management practices.  \nNot in Scope  \nThis document does not address:  \n• Approval to engage with a third-party  \n• Drafting, negotiation and execution of agreements  \nExclusion of IT Material Vendors  \nMaterial enterprise IT vendors are subject to a higher level of governance and oversight, which falls outside the scope of this guide. Governance activity associated with the management of UNSW IT material vendors is supported by the IT Vendor & Commercial team within IT.  \nContents  \n1.
