Other capitalised words and expressions used in this SLA are defined in Part 3.
This SLA provides a mutual understanding of the Service Level expectations of the Parties and defines a benchmark for measuring the performance of the Service. [Insert details of any guiding principles such as continuous improvement, continuous satisfaction, proactive solutions and so on that the Parties wish to apply to the relationship.] Duration of SLA This SLA will commence on [insert commencement date] and expire on [insert expiration date]. Review This SLA will be reviewed every [3/6/12 months] from the date the SLA commences. Where the Contractor is required to provide scoping Services after the commencement of this SLA, the Parties agree to review the SLA at the completion of those Services and update the SLA accordingly.
How are problems in relation to performance of the Services to be notified by the Customer to the Contractor? Escalation Procedure The responsible officers in each Party’s organisation should be identified and the circumstances in which matters may be escalated to those officers for review and resolution.
Site Information Location, specific requirements or unique features about the Site should be set out here, as applicable. Hours of Operation What are the Customer’s normal hours of operation? When can Services be performed with minimal disruption to the Customer’s operations? Contract Variations Where the Customer requires services that are not included in the SLA or in the Order, or there is a significant change to the Services to the scope of the Customer’s requirements under the Contract which impacts on the contractual terms, then a Contract Variation must be affected in accordance with clause 17.2 of the Customer Contract. Referenced Documents Include details of any Documents that are relevant to the performance of the Services. See clause 14.6 of the Customer Contract. Services Customer Responsibilities Identify any resources that are to be supplied by the Customer and any responsibilities that are to be retained by the Customer.

Quality Management Identify the Quality Assurance requirements and any methodology that is to be used during the project. Asset Management The Customer may require the Contractor to produce a plan for review and approval in relation to the above three issues. The plan would be the basis for benchmarking and assessing Service Level performance.
See Clause 15.12 of the Customer Contract. The Customer may require the Contractor to prepare a plan for review and approval. The plan would be the basis for benchmarking and assessing Service Level performance.

Specify the transition out or disengagement services required from the Contractor. Technical Hardware Maintenance and Support Services Software Support Services IT Personnel Professional Services Data Management Telecommunications GTA Broadband Local Access Web Services Managed Services GTA ISM System Integration Services Assumptions This clause is intended to provide a contextual reference for the assessment of the Contractor’s performance against the Service Level. There are a number of issues that may be outside of the Contractor’s control that could adversely impact on the Contractor’s capacity to deliver against set performance criteria such as the continuous availability of telecommunications links, bandwidth capacity or third party service interruption issues. Also it may be an expectation of the Customer that the Contractor in performing the Service adhere to specific policy or procedural requirements that should be included in this clause. In some instances the Service Levels may have been agreed prior to a scoping phase being completed under the Customer Contract. In that instance the Service Levels may be agreed against representations made by the Customer or a notional assessment of the scope of the task expressed as sizing metrics in terms of number of users, outputs, data volumes and so on. Assumptions Customer Responsibilities Responsibility Indicate the responsibility e.g. maintenance of Customer retained equipment that impact on Contractor Service Levels if for instance the Service is provided off site. (I)Benchmarking (II)Service Level Contractor Responsibilities Service Indicate the Service e.g. Server maintenance (III)Benchmarking (IV)Service Level Performance Measurement Depending on the type of Service provided by the Contractor, the performance may be measured on the basis of User satisfaction through review, virtual client assessment or survey process, or measurable on the basis of functionality, timed responses, frequency, speed, quality, or resolution of issues.
Payment Issues Payment Schedule Include a Schedule of Payments or rates for various services. A Rebate and Service Credit regime may then be applied against amounts due to the Contractor. Rebates and Service Credits Insert appropriate Rebate and Service Credit regime Guide Notes: The Parties may wish to apply categories of criticality to each Service Level for the purposes of assessing when rebates or service credits should apply. As an example: Category 1 – High level of criticality Category 2 – Moderate level of criticality Category 3 – Low level of criticality Rebates for failure to meet a Service Level could be expressed to apply in different percentages depending on the Service Level category outline above. By way of example if a 5% rebate were to apply to monthly charges payable to the Contractor for failure to meet a Service Level, the rate could be expressed as follows: For Service Level Category 1 failures: 100% of the 5% rebate For Service Level Category 2 failures: 50% of the 5% rebate For Service Level Category 3 failures: 10% of the 5% rebate Service credits may be awarded for service delivery that exceeds the agreed targets. Service credits can be offset against any rebate due in an agreed accounting period so that the net Rebate can be calculated. By way of example Service Credits can be accumulated on a monthly basis. The cumulative tally of Service Credits can be reset to zero at the end of an agreed period (perhaps quarterly) after offsetting against the Rebate applicable for that same period. For exceeding all Service Level Category 1 targets the Service Credit is 50% (of 5%) For exceeding all Service Level Category 2 targets the Service Credit is 30% (of 5%) For exceeding all Service Level Category 3 targets the Service Credit is 10% (of 5%) CONTRACTUAL REMEDIES Where the Contractor does not meet the same Service Level under the Service Level Agreement for each month in a consecutive six (6) month period, the Customer shall be entitled to treat such failure as a Substantial Breach for the purposes of clause 18.2 of the Agreement. Incentives and Innovation Where the Contractor: (V)exceeds targets for performance consistently over an agreed time period; (VI)is innovative in developing new processes or systems; or (VII)sources and implements new technologies; and these accrue benefits and costs savings to the Customer, the Parties may agree to share those costs on terms agreed in the SLA. : Variation Procedures
Each request or recommendation for a change to the PIPP or any part of the Customer Contract must be submitted in a form substantially similar to the Change Request form attached to this Schedule. For each draft Change Request submitted: (VIII)the Customer must allocate it with a sequential number; (IX)the draft Change Request must be logged and its progress documented by recording its status from time to time by the Contractor as follows: requested; under evaluation; awaiting authorisation; cancelled; pending
approved/authorised; expired;
in progress; applied;
delivered; accepted. The Party receiving the draft Change Request must within 5 Business Days of receipt (or such longer period set out in the Change Request): (X)request further information; (XI)provide written notification to the other Party of its approval or rejection of the Change Request. If the Customer submits a draft Change Request to the Contractor, and the Contractor believes that there is more than 1 Business Day’s work involved in the evaluation of the Change Request, then prior to commencing work on evaluating the draft Change Request the Contractor may request that the Customer pays for the work involved to evaluate the draft Change Request. The Customer may then either revise the draft Change Request to require less than 1 Business Day’s work to evaluate it, or agree to pay for the Contractor’s work to evaluate the Change Request in an amount agreed by the Parties, or in absence of agreement, at the Contractor’s then current commercial rates. If the Customer Contract has been entered into under a Head Agreement, and the Change Request seeks to vary a Protected Clause and the Customer approves of the Change Request, the Customer must submit the Change Request to the Contract Authority for its approval immediately after it has notified the Contractor that it approves the Change Request.
A Change Request is binding on the Parties only when both Parties have signed it. Once signed by both parties the Change Request updates the Customer Contract in accordance with the terms of the Change Request. The Contractor must not implement any draft Change Request until the Customer has signed the Change Request form. Change Request Form Change Request Brief Details
