The GIPA Act identifies three classes of contracts.

Class 1 contracts are those that have, or are likely to have, a value of $150,000.
Class 2 contracts are class 1 contracts where:
- there has not been a public tender process and the terms and conditions of the contract have been negotiated directly with the contractor; or
- the contract was the subject of a tender (whether public or not) but the terms and conditions have been substantially negotiated with the contractor;
- the obligations of one or more parties to maintain or operate infrastructure or assets;
- could continue for 10 years or more, and the contract involves a privately financed project (as defined by Treasury) or the exchange of significant assets.

Class 3 contracts are class 2 contracts with or likely to have a value of more than $5 million. The Authority must publish a copy of a class 3 contract on the register of government contracts.

The detail required to be reported varies with each Class of contract. A copy of Class 3 contracts must be made available with the Register. For full details of the requirements refer to Division 5 of the GIPA Act.
Some confidential information is not required to be included in the Contracts Register, as set out under section 32 of the GIPA Act, some types of contract information, or all or part of a contract, are not required to be included in the Authority's Contracts Register.

Information on contracts the Authority has entered into, valued over $150,000, are published on the Government eTendering website.
