Free Trade Agreements

NSW participates in the procurement chapters of a number of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). For example, the Australia-United States FTA (AUSFTA) applies to construction procurements valued above $7.769 million and goods and services procurement valued above $551,000. Some goods procurement is exempt, such as health and welfare services, education services, and motor vehicles. For procurement covered under the FTAs, agencies must treat a supplier from the other country the same as a domestic supplier.
