Education Management System

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (26 September 2018). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

The total contract value for an initial 10 year contract term for the Education Management System with Civica is $76.4m (excl. GST) for enterprise licensing, hosting, support and implementation costs. The initial contract value of $76.4m over 10 years equates to a cost per preschool/school of approximately $8,332 per annum.
