The ICT Agreement (ICTA) and Core& contract templates have been updated with new Modern Slavery clauses
Updated ICTA and Core& contract templates now meet the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner’s Guidance on Reasonable Steps to manage modern slavery risks in operations and supply-chains (GRS) which came into effect from 1 January 2024.
We’ve updated the ICTA and Core& contract templates under the ICT Purchasing Framework to meet the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner’s requirements.
The templates now include:
- Streamlined clauses for low, minor, and moderate (as per the IRIT) modern slavery risk procurements.
- Heightened clauses for high-risk procurements, These clauses impose extensive and regular engagement between Agencies, suppliers and other stakeholders, active monitoring of modern slavery risks during contract performance, and greater attention to governance of risks.
The GRS Inherent Risk Identification Tool (IRIT) identifies hardware procurement as high-risk. As such, the hardware modules for both ICTA and Core& contract templates have been amended with heightened clauses. The Core terms have been amended with streamlined clauses.
