Sub-contracting

TEOs[1] are responsible for provision they subcontract to other organisations, including reporting. For example, the performance commitments set out in a TEO’s Investment Plan apply to any subcontracted provision funded through that Investment Plan. Subcontracted provision must meet all relevant quality assurance requirements.

These requirements are specified in Condition SAC356[2].

Subcontracted provision must be formally declared by a TEO as part of the Investment Plan process. We may, as part of Plan approval, impose conditions on subcontracting arrangements if we have concerns about the relevance, quality or delivery of the provision, or concerns about the subcontracted party.

ITPs cannot subcontract out-of-region provision unless it is formally approved by us as part of their Investment Plan.

  Condition SAC356: Reporting - sub-contracting on Investment Plan

  Subcontracted provision for Student Achievement Component funding will only be funded on the following basis:

  • The tertiary education organisation (TEO) is responsible for the subcontracted provision as if it delivered the provision itself
  • Where a subcontracted organisation ceases to operate, the principal TEO will provide alternative support for the learners affected until the learners have completed their programme of study.
