Where these obligations are not met, including responsibility to comply with employment and industrial relations conditions, the contractor is required to rectify the non-compliance immediately to avoid cancellation of the contract.
The Directorate’s central office expenditure included the acquisition of expert advice regarding curriculum, national assessment testing, other education related matters, human resource issues and capital activities.
Contract information for schools related mainly to cleaning and grounds maintenance. All contracts are organised through Shared Services Procurement.
The Directorate did not manage any contracts for non-government schools in 2010-11.
