Overview
Informed by buyer feedback and industry engagement, we have made updates to the eServices Contract. These updates are planned to be released in Version 6.1, effective 21 September 2026.These updates will make it easier for buyers and suppliers to do business, reducing administrative burden, and manage risks.
Information sessions will be held to communicate the key changes and provide an opportunity for buyers and suppliers to ask questions. One session will be held mid-September and another in early October.
Please stay tuned for email invitations, which will include registration details.
Transition to eServices Contract v6.1
New RFQs: All new RFQs issued from 21 September 2026 must use the new eServices Contract v6.1.
Current RFQs: Suppliers currently responding to an RFQ may continue under the existing eServices Contract v6.0, with no impact on existing RFQ activities.
Existing eServices Contracts: Existing contracts may remain in effect until the expiry of their current term, including any extension options provided for under the contract. Where a contract requires an extension beyond its current term and no extension options exist under the existing contractual arrangements, it must transition to eServices Contract v6.1.
The new contract documents are below.
