Temporary staff contract update
Transition period expired
The 90-day transition period that was in place to allow temporary staff to transition from outgoing to incoming suppliers of the new Temporary Staff contract has ceased. Agencies are no longer asked to lodge exceptions with the NSWP Client Support Centre in relation to orders in place prior to April 2009.
Government agencies are required to source temporary staff from the Temporary Staff contract for all new orders commencing 20 April 2009 or after. Orders under old arrangements should not be extended or renewed.
 
If your agency has niche requirements that you believe are not met by an existing SCCB contract, your agency can seek an exemption to the SCCB contract. Contact the NSWP Client Support Centre on 1800 NSW BUY (1800 679 289) for assistance.
