State Purchase Contracts (SPCs) are standing offer agreements for Victorian government common use goods and services, which are established when value for money can best be achieved through aggregating demand.
Strategic Sourcing, Department of Treasury and Finance with other Individual entities (with specific knowledge, market information and business drivers) are responsible as lead entities for the establishment and contract/category management of SPCs.
SPCs are either mandated or non-mandated for inner budget entities (departments and administrative offices bound by VGPB policies). SPCs can be used by outer budget entities (statutory authorities, Government Business Enterprises and other government organisations that are only partly funded by government) who commit to the requirements of the agreement.
SPCs can be structured as sole or multiple suppliers (multiple suppliers constitute a panel arrangement); or
open or closed panels (where open panels are able to accept new suppliers at set or other times during the contract period, whereas closed panels are restricted to the suppliers engaged at the commencement of the contract).
Further information on the operation of SPCs can be obtained from the VGPB State Purchase Contracts (SPC) Policy
More information on each contract can be obtained by clicking on the contract name. Please contact the Category Manager should you have further queries or feedback.
