We know the government demand for cloud services is changing. Technology and industry are
evolving and we’re working to create a better place for agencies to buy cloud services.
We’re approaching the market to create a new Cloud Marketplace (CMP) panel sourcing
arrangement. The new arrangement will better suit industry developments and respond to the
changing needs of agencies. We want to achieve value-for-money outcomes for agencies when
they buy cloud services by:
creating a flexible sourcing arrangement accommodating industry developments and
technological advances
giving better access to a wider range of offerings
simplifying the buying process
promoting increased participation from Australian small and medium enterprises
providing a modern, flexible, competitive and easy-to-access marketplace
reducing timelines and costs
We’ve released a discussion paper (/help-and-advice/ict-procurement/tools-sourcing-digital-
products-and-services/marketplaces-panels-and-arrangements/buying-cloud-services/cloud-
marketplace-discussion-paper) for interested parties to
provide feedback
(https://tenders.gov.au/Atm/Show?Id=5287bfb6-07ad-4aaa-bbbc-b629983394c9). The
discussion paper outlines what we are proposing for the new CMP, but we want your help to
develop our approach to market and how we run it.
The CMP will replace our existing Cloud Services Panel (CSP), which currently hosts over
500 Cloud Services from more than 240 Sellers as at September 2019. Over 70% of Sellers are
SMEs and has facilitated over $134M in government cloud contracts since 2015.
