SECTION 95B   REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMONWEALTH CONTRACTS  

95B(1)   [Agency to take contractual measures]

The agency must ensure that the Commonwealth contract does not authorise a contracted service provider for the contract to do or engage in such an act or practice.

The agency must also ensure that the Commonwealth contract contains provisions to ensure that such an act or practice is not authorised by a subcontract.

For the purposes of subsection (3), a subcontract is a contract under which a contracted service provider for the Commonwealth contract is engaged to provide services to:


(a) another contracted service provider for the Commonwealth contract; or


(b) any agency;

for the purposes (whether direct or indirect) of the Commonwealth contract.
