FAQ's GITC accrediation
Q. What is GITC Accreditation?
A . As a pre-requisite to signing the Government Information Technology Contracting Framework Version 5 (GITC V5) Deed of Agreement, each supplier must first submit an application for GITC accreditation. The aim of the accreditation process is to assess the risk, character and capacity of an organisation which Intends to contract with the Queensland Government. This assessment aims to ensure the Queensland Government will be dealing with a financially viable organisation that can be reasonably expected to continue trading in the foreseeable future.

Q. Why are the insurance requirements mandatory?
A. Insurance reduces the risk of procurement for government and increases the likelihood that Queensland Government Agencies will be dealing with reputable businesses that will continue to trade in the foreseeable future.
Insurance also supports the continuing viability of suppliers who may have claims made against them. The government’s risk of loss or damage is not reduced by the size of the business it is dealing with and therefore the minimum levels of insurance are mandatory for all suppliers.
