Digital sourcing and ICT procurement (/taxonomy/term/25)
A new whole-of-government volume sourcing agreement has been established with Amazon
Web Services (AWS).
The DTA continues to expand whole-of-government volume sourcing agreements with
suppliers to ensure government has access to the best pricing, terms and conditions, with
Amazon Web Services (AWS) the latest supplier to sign up.
The agreement will simplify the procurement process for government agencies, bringing
significant cost savings from a strengthened and consistent set of pre‑negotiated terms and
conditions for all users.
The new agreement will give government agencies better value for money and increased
flexibility when sourcing commonly used cloud and professional services from AWS. It will also
facilitate capability uplift across government through coordinated access to AWS Enterprise
Support and access to information sessions, led by the DTA.
For non-corporate Commonwealth entities already purchasing services from AWS, existing
contracts will be transitioned to the new agreement and new contracts will be made under the
whole-of-government agreement. The agreement is also able to be used by all other
government agencies, including state and territory governments.
This coordinated approach to digital sourcing will make it simpler, faster and easier for
agencies to buy technology, drive innovation and get more value out of their investments.
