|
Contract Type |
Guidelines for Use |
|
Purchase Order |
For minor supply only and “off the shelf” items Not to be used to engage a consultant Not to be used to labour Not to be used where on-site work is involved other than delivery Not to be used to engage a subcontractor |
|
Supply Agreement |
Used for major materials, e.g, concrete, reo, quarry products etc in large quantities rather than a Purchase Order Used for super critical components of machinery etc irrespective of dollar value Used for materials requiring commissioning, warranties, completion documentation, manuals etc Used where the supplier has a design liability or design component Not to be used where on-site work is involved, other than delivery, without amendment to include site specific special conditions covering safety, environment and Industrial Relations |

Plant Hire Agreement |
To be used for the hire of external plant No monetary limits apply To be tailored to suit whether equipment is on “Dry Hire” where the Alliance takes the risk of damage to and caused by the plant and “Wet Hire” where the risk of damage to the plant and works rests with the Hirer and not the Alliance. The ‘Letting Approval’ is to include the forecast final cost and the budget details (ie, not merely the hourly rate). |
