Significant service contracts
Significant service contracts are the important contracts that your agency manages.
These contracts include:
- services that are critically important to the delivery of business objectives of an agency; and
- pose a significant risk and/or significant impact in the event of supplier failure.
If an agency does not identify any significant services contracts, they must submit a nil return to MBIE.
