Third-party agreements
As with all University records, UNSW staff and contractors have a responsibility to capture records relating to third-party agreements to a聽System of record. This includes records that demonstrate how an agreement with a third-party is developed and approved, as well as the final signed contract.

Compliance
Capturing records of your third-party agreement in RAMS ensures that you are compliant with the聽. Depending on the monetary value and the type of agreement, you may also have obligations under other legislation to make information about the agreement publicly available.
For all contracts with a value of above $150,000 including GST (=$136,363 excluding GST), contact the聽University Right to Information Officer聽for more information about your reporting responsibilities under the聽.
For all arrangements with other parties to deliver UNSW programs, contact the Office of the DVC A for more information about your reporting responsibilities under the聽.
