The Secure Local Jobs Code applies to businesses undertaking works of any value for construction, cleaning, security, traffic management and services. Additionally, the Code also applies to procurements over $200,000 for services or works (other than those listed as excluded services or works), where labour is the highest cost to the ACT Government. A business is a person or entity trading under an ABN including sole traders, partnerships, trusts and companies. You may need a Code Certificate before you quote and for the duration of the project. A Code Certificate confirms your business meets the standards in the Secure Local Jobs Code. If you don’t have a Code Certificate, we cannot accept your tender or quote. You will also be required to complete a Labour Relations, Training and Workplace Equity Plan in consultation with your employees for cleaning, security or traffic management if the value of work is more than $25,000. The provision of Tenancy and/or Property Management Services does not require Secure Local Jobs Certification. However, depending on the type of support services being provided an organisation may be required to hold Secure Local Jobs Certification prior to the tender closing date. The Community Services Directorate is holding a virtual information session for potential tenderers on Tuesday 9 May 2023 11.00am – 12.00PM. A representative of the Secure Local Jobs Registrar will present information on the Secure Local Jobs Code and address any queries. To register for the information session please email ACTHousingProcurement@act.gov.au and a calendar invite will be sent to you. |
