Details are recorded in the register of government contracts, which is published on the Department of Education section of the NSW eTendering website.
These details are to be registered within 45 working days of the contract coming into effect, and must remain on the register for 30 days or until the contract is complete, whichever is longer.
Class 3 contracts
Contracts which are larger than $5m can be Class 3 contracts with an increased level of disclosure.
