28452 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for the Public Service and Digitising Government: What is his estimate of how Copilot licensing costs will change over the term of the agreement, if at all, and what protections exist against price escalation as agency reliance grows?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that the All of Government Microsoft Cloud, Software and Services Agreement (MCSSA) is negotiated on a 3-yearly basis. Licensing costs are fixed for each 3-year term, which includes Copilot licenses.
