• Employers are except from Fringe Benefit Tax on any contributions they make towards<br />
the uniform.<br />
• Employees are eligible for tax deductions for expenses incurred in the rental, purchase or<br />
maintenance of approved non-compulsory occupational clothing.<br />

the contracts and click on the title of the CUA. Alternatively you can search by contracted<br />

Q UE S TIONS<br />

guidelines.<br />
Each Public Authority will need to set up an internal approval procedure for ordering apparel<br />
items. Please contact the Contract Manager at Government Procurement for further<br />
information if necessary.<br />
Do I need to get quotes?<br />
No. This CUA offers fixed prices for all goods.<br />
What happens if I need to purchase apparel items that are not available on this CUA?<br />
You can purchase all standard apparel items provided in this category from this contract. As<br />
such, it should not be necessary to purchase any additional items.<br />
Please contact your corporate services or relevant person inside your Public Authority to<br />
determine if this is in accordance with your Public Authority’s policy and business rules. The<br />
Contract Manager at Government Procurement can assist with further clarification.<br />
In the instance that the apparel item is not available on the CUA, then <strong>Buyers</strong> must purchase<br />
in accordance with relevant State Supply Commission Policy.<br />
What do I do if the Contractor can’t supply within the stipulated delivery times?<br />
Ensure that you have documentation that clearly records when you have placed your order<br />
and when the goods will be delivered. Once you have this information please complete a<br />

State Government agencies are encouraged to proactively identify opportunities which will<br />
enable ADEs to fulfil the needs of their agency. For more information, please refer to the<br />
