Request for feedback on a new software panel
Request for feedback on a new software
panel
17 July 2017
Tags:  Digital sourcing and ICT procurement (/taxonomy/term/25)
The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) is seeking feedback on the documentation for a new
Software Licensing and Services Panel. This will improve existing arrangements for software
licensing in government and provide an opportunity for more providers to sell to government.
Initially, the panel will have one category — Microsoft Licensing. In the future, more categories
will be added for other software licensing and related services. Dates for additional categories
are not yet set.
From March 2018, non-corporate Commonwealth entities will be required to use the Microsoft
Licensing category of the panel if they choose to purchase Microsoft software. The panel
category will replace the existing reseller arrangement for Microsoft licensing
(https://www.tenders.gov.au/?event=public.son.view&SONUUID=0F279B6E-D833-4077-
62FD9AACE4EF582E) that is due to expire in March 2018.
The panel will also be available for government business enterprises and state and territory
governments to use.
