We're changing the way government buys ICT products and services.

The DTA is changing the way government buys ICT products and services.
We're working on a series of reforms to make it easier for small and medium businesses to sell
to government, simplify processes, avoid duplication, and consolidate and coordinate whole-
of-government buying.
At the centre of this work is a new ICT Procurement Framework. This meets Recommendation 1
of the ICT Procurement Taskforce Report (https://ict-procurement.digital.gov.au/) — to guide
policy and decision making.
Earlier this year an exemplar team worked out of the DTA, researching how a framework for ICT
procurement could be used, and what those using the framework need out of it.
The team was made up of people from the Department of Human Services, Australian Tax
Office, Department of Finance, Department of Home Affairs, Department of Defence,
Department of Health and the DTA.
At the end of their research they had written a draft framework. Today we’ve released that draft
for feedback.
We want to hear from anyone who will work in this framework. That’s both people from
government agencies — especially those in procurement — and from industry, especially those
that sell ICT to government, or want to in the future.
