Contracts

The University of Adelaide enters into a variety of contracts or agreements.  Many University activities involve some element of contracting with organisations or individuals outside the University.  It is important for contracts to be developed and managed in ways that maximise benefits to the University, minimise unintended consequences and enable the University to fulfil its contractual obligations, legal and regulatory requirements and ethical requirements.

Contracts and Agreements Policy

These pages are designed to provide practical information and tools to staff to enable compliance with the Contracts and Agreements Policy and associated procedures, as well as the effective ongoing management of contracts. Note that even though an agreement may be entered into in relation to an individual area (eg Faculty, School, Centre, Discipline), it is ultimately a University agreement.
