********************

The Government has signed contracts for the provision of Voice, Mobile and Data Carriage Services, jointly referred to as Telecommunications Carriage Services (TCS). These contracts, combined with the Victorian Office Telephony System (VOTS) contracts, form the basis of the Telecommunications Purchasing and Management Strategy (TPAMS).

TCS was established on behalf of Victorian Government departments, agencies and statutory authorities for the delivery of telecommunications goods and services. The TCS arrangements were established to deliver best value, and the latest technology, for fixed voice, mobile and data carriage services. The TCS contracts offer high levels of service availability, interoperability, telecommunications infrastructure and enhanced service coverage across regional and rural Victoria.

The TPAMS Head Agreement is an overarching contract and sets out the contractual framework in which service agreements and customer contracts are created, managed and terminated. The TPAMS Head Agreement is an evergreen contract and continues until terminated by either party.

In the event of customer contract expiry as indicated above, the pricing stated in the customer contracts continues in line with the TPAMS Head Agreement.

Expiry Date:  30 June 2014 (Evergreen contract.  Under review)
