Request for Exemption for Aboriginal Businesses and Australian Disability Enterprises Template

An agency can procure from a 
•    a business that is a registered Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE)
or 
•    a registered Aboriginal business

without complying with mandatory Common Use Arrangements (CUA).

There is no requirement to request advice or approval from the Department of Finance, regardless of value, when seeking an exemption from the minimum requirements of the Open and Effective Competition Policy and the use of mandatory Common Use Arrangements for a purchase from an ADE or an Aboriginal business.
