We have prepared a fact sheet on the Commonwealth Simple Grant Agreement (part of the Department of Finance`s model collection). The Commonwealth Simple Grant Agreement is based on the previous Low Risk Grant Agreement and replaces it and contains other formulation options for the complementary conditions. The grant agreement should be used as a standard template for grants worth USD 10,000 or more. Finance has developed a number of templates and user manuals to assist the Commonwealth in its attribution activities. including models for grant opportunities, grant agreements and variations. As part of the Australian government`s initiative to reduce bureaucracy, the Department of Finance has developed a grant proposal without subsidies, which should be used by companies for the conclusion of low-risk subsidies. A simple set of requirement process templates are at your disposal to warn successful and unsuccessful suppliers. If you don`t have community services, switch to the alternative suite of templates and guides for purchasing goods and services. These templates were developed to replace the agency-specific models for grant agreements, including proposals from the Department of Social Services (DSS). The DSS Streamlined Grant Agreement is not part of the Ministry of Finance`s collection of proposals and will end as DSS has removed new grant agreements with municipal-based organizations. The documents that make up the agreement between the Commonwealth government agency and the funded organization may contain the following documents: the purchase of community services has different requirements for managing your service contract. They must integrate and meet the different requirements of the DCSP Directive. The following templates will help you ensure that your service contract meets these requirements.

The evaluation of the tenders received can be facilitated by the review of the manual and the use of the report templates. You can propose changes to the templates by sending the template an email with tracked changes and explaining what your proposed change is for fundingandcontracting@finance.wa.gov.au. If you have decided that your purchase is more suitable to be financed by a grant, two models are available to you. There is no minimum or maximum amount for aid. The Department of Finance has published a series of proposals for public grant agreements that will be used by Commonwealth bodies when concluding grant agreements in 2018. Organizations should obtain independent legal advice on the terms and practical implications of their Commonwealth grant agreements. You can use the list of grant conditions for smaller, less complex grants worth less than $10,000. Older versions of the models are available in the archive. The following templates give detailed instructions on the application process: from the execution of briefings to the conditions of your requests.

Guides and templates provide support for the design and implementation of co-design and collaboration with the community service sector and service users. You also give an overview of everything you need to plan your purchases and assess the associated risks. The award of contracts to expressions of interest has its own templates, which contain letters for negative tenders and shortlisting suppliers. The list of award conditions should not serve as a separate document, but may be included either in guidelines or application forms subject to a call for tenders, or as a precondition for the award of the tender, or in the formal letter of offer informing the beneficiaries of the success of their grant application. . . .
