Rule 39:
Common Capability contracts

Primary requirement

  1. A Common Capability contract (CC) must only be established by a System Leader, or an agency that has approval and oversight from a System Leader.

Application

  1. CC contracts may cover mandatory and/or voluntary common capabilities:
    1. Mandatory common capabilities: Some agencies must purchase certain goods, services or works from a Common Capability Contract
    2. Agencies must get approval from the relevant System Leader to opt-out of purchasing from a mandatory Common Capability Contract
    3. Voluntary common capabilities: when a common capability is voluntary, an agency is expected to purchase from the CC when it reasonably meets the agency’s needs.
  2. Agencies must check if there is an existing CC contract that meets its needs before approaching the market. CCs are listed on the collaborative contracts register.

CC-ICT contracts

Common Capability contracts are being used in the procurement of information, communication and technology (ICT) goods and services. These are called CC-ICT contracts.

CC-ICT contracts are usually overarching agreements with suppliers entered into by a System Leader (or another agency with System Leader oversight). 

These contracts are developed under the oversight of the Government Chief Digital Officer (GCDO) at the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). DIA is the System Leader for Government ICT and works in collaboration with others and with the approval of the Procurement System Leader.

Seamless provision of ICT goods and services

ICT goods and services are often complex to procure. For this reason, some of these contracts are designed to allow authorised parties to procure services under the CC ICT agreement. An ‘authorised party’ can be an eligible agency or a third-party supplier that has been approved by a System Leader. Any procurement done by an authorised party should be solely for the benefit of an eligible agency.
