If you make digital sourcing decisions on behalf of government, we’d like to know how you
reach those decisions.
We’re drafting new policies around the sourcing of digital products and services for
government that respond to the recommendations of the ICT procurement taskforce report
(/node/306). 
We’ve based this consultation paper on interviews with digital sourcing experts from a range of
government agencies. We’ve tested and iterated it based on the feedback we’ve received.
We’re now asking for your input, particularly if you buy digital products and services for
government. 
We’re seeking your feedback on the Digital Sourcing Consider First Policy consultation paper
(/digital-sourcing-consider-first-policy-consultation-paper). The paper proposes a policy that
will help agencies make more considered investment decisions, and is backed by 4 principles:
investment is user-centred and outcomes focused
buyers engage early, consult wide and use innovative approaches

---

usability and total cost of ownership are prioritised
alignment with technical requirements to improve user and business outcomes
We’d like to know how you make investment decisions and how you buy or build digital
products and services for government. We’d also like to know how this draft policy might
impact or support your work.
