Hire and Loan
The ASDEFCON (Hire of Defence Asset) ("Hire") and ASDEFCON (Loan of Defence Asset) ("Loan") templates facilitates the temporary passing of a Defence Asset, including inventory, to an organisation external to Defence or other entity, for a specified use and defined period of time.
The ASDEFCON (Hire) template is for use when the Commonwealth agrees to provide equipment to the hirer in return for a payment to the Commonwealth for the use of that equipment.
The ASDEFCON (Loan) template is for use when the Commonwealth agrees to provide equipment to the borrower without the payment of money, but with the payment of a security deposit.
Further guidance on when to use the ASDEFCON (Hire) and ASDEFCON (Loan) templates has been included in the Contract Template Selection and Tailoring Guide.

- Incorporation of all changes introduced in Departmental Procurement Policy Instructions since the release of version 1.0 of the templates.
