The Government Information Technology Contracting (GITC) Framework contains
standard contractual terms and conditions for use by governments (and sometimes Government Owned Corporations) in the acquisition of Information Communication & Technology (ICT) products and services.

The Commonwealth has updated the framework by issuing a suite of draft model contracts (released as SourceIT model contracts) that are consistent with Australian Government regulations and guidelines.

The model contracts address:

• Hardware Acquisition and Support;
• Licence and Support of Commercial off-the-shelf Software; and
• IT Consultancy Services.
