Whenever possible, DTEI uses Australian Standards or accepted industry standards as the General Conditions of Contract. These are usually well understood by the relevant industries and reflect DTEI’s approach to risk allocation.

However, for some categories of contract there are no suitable standard conditions and DTEI uses its own standards. These documents include an Annexure, which contains all of the contract specific conditions.

GCC Goods is used for routine goods supply contracts.

GCC Minor Works and Field Services is used for low value or low risk contracts for works or services that are related to the construction or maintenance of infrastructure; for example, hire of construction plant with an operator, graffiti removal, load and haul.

GCC Services - Major is used for significant services contracts. It includes provision for a formal Instrument of Agreement, Security Deposits and Parent Company Guarantees.

GCC Services – Minor is used for simple contracts (ie based on offer and acceptance) for services. It is not used for long term contracts.

For professional services, DTEI most commonly uses AS4122:2000. The Annexures to AS4122 provide details of DTEI special requirements for using these conditions of contract.
