ARBIT 2022
Model agreements
In 2010, the General Government Terms and Conditions for IT Contracts (ARBIT) were drawn up because of a growing need for flexible models suited for ordinary purchases of IT products and services (i.e. small and medium-sized projects and standard products) and thus capable of being used for the great variety of IT orders placed by central government. They provide a uniform set of general terms and conditions between the State of the Netherlands (i.e. all ministries and public authorities and agencies for which the ministries are responsible) and third parties.
