Direct Contracting Goods and works which the Association agrees meet the requirements for Direct Contracting may be procured in accordance with the provisions of said procurement method.
SHAM CONTRACTING 49.1 Sham Contracting occurs when an Employer engages an individual to perform building work under a contract for services where the true character of the engagement or proposed engagement is that of employment.
49.2 The Employer agrees they will not engage in Sham Contracting and recognises that the practice of sham contracting is unlawful and undermines the job security of the Employees covered by this Agreement.
49.3 The Employer will not enter into a contract with another person (“the Contractor”) under which services in the nature of building work are to be provided to the employer, if:
(a) the services are to be performed by an individual (who is not the Contractor); and the individual has any ownership in, or is an officer or trustee of, the contractor; and
(b) if the contract were entered into with the individual, the contract would be a contract of employment.
49.4 The Employer will maintain records about any Contractors that it has engaged in the preceding month which will include:
(a) the name of the Contractor;
(b) the owner(s) of the Contractor;
(c) the works that the Contractor was engaged to perform;
(d) basis on which the Contractor was paid for the work e.g. lump sum/fixed price, daily rate, other; and
49.5 The Employer will, within 7 days of receiving a written request from the Union, provide a copy of the records which it is required to keep pursuant to the previous subclause. Nothing in this subclause requires the Employer to provide information in a manner that is inconsistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
49.6 Where in breach of this clause a sham contract was in place, such that that Contractor was in fact an Employee under this Agreement, the calculation for back pay will be calculated on the basis of the difference between what they were paid under sham contract arrangement and:
(a) 175% of the applicable hourly rate contained in this Agreement; and
(b) the Site Allowance (if applicable); and
(c) the multi-story allowance (if applicable); and
(d) Superannuation (BUSSQ), XXXX, CIPQ and BEWT.

SUB-CONTRACTING 31.1. The Authority approves the appointment of the sub-contractors specified in Schedule 10 (Approved Sub-contractors) in respect of the obligations specified in that Schedule.
31.2. The Contractor may not sub-contract its obligations under the Framework Agreement to other sub-contractors without the prior written consent of the Authority.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-contractors as though they are its own.
31.3. Where the Contractor enters into a sub-contract the Contractor must ensure that a provision is included which:
31.3.1. requires payment to be made of all sums due by the Contractor to the sub- contractor within a specified period not exceeding 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice as defined by the sub-contract requirements and provides that, where the Authority has made payment to the Contractor in respect of Services and the sub-contractor’s invoice relates to such Services then, to that extent, the invoice must be treated as valid and, provided the Contractor is not exercising a right of retention or set-off in respect of a breach of contract by the sub-contractor or in respect of a sum otherwise due by the sub-contractor to the Contractor, payment must be made to the sub-contractor without deduction;
31.3.2. notifies the sub-contractor that the sub-contract forms part of a larger contract for the benefit of the Authority and that should the sub-contractor have any difficulty in securing the timely payment of an invoice, that matter may be referred by the sub- contractor to the Authority;

31.3.4. is in the same terms as that set out in this clause 31.3 (including for the avoidance of doubt this clause 31.3.4) subject only to modification to refer to the correct designation of the equivalent party as the Contractor and sub-contractor as the case may be.
31.4. The Contractor shall include in every sub-contract:
31.4.1 a right for the Contractor to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 42.4 occur; and
31.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 31.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards. In this Clause 31.4, ‘sub-contract’ means any contract between two or more contractors, at any stage of remoteness from the Authority in a sub-contracting chain, made wholly or substantially for the purpose of performing (or contributing to the performanace of) the whole or any part of this Framework Agreement.
31.5. Where requested by the Authority, copies of any sub-contract must be sent by the Contractor to the Authority as soon as reasonably practicable.
31.6. Where the Contractor proposes to enter into a sub-contract it must:
31.6.1 advertise its intention to do so in at least one trade journal, and the Public Contracts Scotland Portal; and
31.6.2 follow a procedure leading to the selection of the sub-contractor which ensures reasonable competition following principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination and transparency and which ensures that such procedure is accessible by small and medium enterprises.
