Description

SCM12 prequalifies suppliers to source, assess and select talent for NSWG ongoing and temporary roles.

Scope

The Scheme facilitates the procurement of services to support the sourcing, evaluating, and selection of talent for temporary and ongoing positions, including executive roles, and governed by Government Sector Employment Act 2013 (GSE Act).

The Scheme comprises four categories:

The Scheme is designed to simplify procurement processes for the government and enhance business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, regional businesses, and other suppliers.
