Purchase Orders

A Purchase Order provides details about the goods or services we wish to purchase, including a description of the goods or service, the price per unit, the quantity being purchased, GST payable and the delivery date.

When we issue a Purchase Order it will state whether:

• it has been issued under a contract between us the supplier, or
• it is subject to Centrelink's standard terms and conditions.

Suppliers must quote the relevant Purchase Order number on all invoices.

Volume or Blanket Purchase Orders

A Volume or Blanket Purchase Order enables us to request goods or services from a supplier on a needs basis for the period of time specified on the Volume or Blanket Purchase Order.

We will notify the supplier of the Volume or Blanket Purchase Order number and the period of time it will operate. We may make a request to suppliers in writing or verbally, but will generally not send a copy of the Volume or Blanket Purchase Order.

When we make a request under a Volume or Blanket Purchase Order that is not created under the terms and conditions of an existing contract between us and the supplier, all goods or services purchased are subject to our standard terms and conditions.

Suppliers must quote the relevant Volume or Blanket Purchase Order number on all invoices supplied under a request.
