Common use of Contracting In Clause in Contracts

Contracting In. The employer commits to continue the current process of insourcing work currently outsourced in co-operation with the relevant union/s by identifying all currently outsourced work. Organisational units will bid for work currently out-sourced to contractors, unless otherwise agreed between the parties and subject to any legislative requirements. In-sourcing will be undertaken where it can be demonstrated that work is competitive on an overall basis, including quality and the cost of purchase and maintenance of any capital equipment required to perform the work. Where the employer requires that in-sourced work is performed by work units which specify industry accepted standards of accreditation or minimum qualifications for their performance, these requirements must also be met by external bidders. At the expiry of existing contracts, the employer commits to in-source work unless the cost of in-sourcing the work is demonstrated to be greater than five percent higher than outsourced arrangements once cost comparisons between direct and contract labour have been made. This will not prevent the use of contract extension clauses while this process continues. Training for managers to undertake costings and bids will be provided on an ongoing basis. Special consideration will be given in circumstances where appropriate deployees are available to provide a service. In these cases, latitude will exist in relation to price competitiveness. This latitude will be quantified and agreed between the parties at the EB7 Implementation Group. Subject to this clause, existing contract arrangements will not be extended to new or replacement facilities. Opportunity will be given for in-house staff to undertake the work as outlined above. It is acknowledged that new or replacement facilities are not to be treated as greenfield sites. In the case of the Operational Stream, the parties agree that the following process will be utilised to assist the employers Operational Services staff to compete equally for work that is currently contracted out: • ensure that offer documents include key performance and quality criteria to be addressed by all bidders/tenderers; • provide independent in-house advice and assistance to in-house staff in the preparation of business cases; • ensure that offers are evaluated on the basis of cost (which includes the contractor basing their price on a minimum of EB6 rates of pay), quality, timeliness and ability to maintain specified key performance criteria; • include a mechanism for monitoring and continuous improvement; and • ensure that these mechanisms are relevant and appropriate. Once a decision has been made by the employer the appropriate outcome will be implemented. Neither party will seek to disrupt or delay the implementation of the approved outcome. Should the relevant union consider that a fair comparison has not been made then the matter should be referred to the EB7 Implementation Group for resolution. This must occur in a timely manner. The employers preferred policy position is to in-source the maintenance of its technology after the expiry of the standard manufacturer’s warranty where feasible. There will be no extension of warranties in those circumstances where appropriate in-house maintenance is available. The employer will ensure that, where possible, contracts for the supply or warranty of technology include a component of training to ensure in-house maintenance remains possible. The parties acknowledge that external maintenance of certain complex technology will occur where in-house maintenance is not feasible. This clause will not apply to services funded through the Statewide and Non-Government Health Services Unit.
