Digital sourcing and ICT procurement (/taxonomy/term/25)
Owners and staff of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups are invited to attend a
range of online events hosted by the DT
A’s Digital Sourcing Network
(https://www.buyict.gov.au/sp?id=capability_and_community&kb=KB0010687) in April and
May 2021.

These events help SMEs understand:
how government agencies buy digital products and services
what critical elements need to be considered to be eligible for government work.
“SMEs can deliver high-value, innovative products and services, and government
agencies want access to cutting-edge digital solutions,” said Lucy Poole, Division
Head, Sourcing and Governance. "It’s our job to create a level playing field so
businesses of all sizes, locations and levels of experience have the same
opportunity to put themselves forward. Helping SMEs navigate public
procurement is one way we can do that.”
The DTA is committed to making digital sourcing simple for buyers and sellers. We work closely
with SMEs to understand the unique challenges they face when competing for tenders –
particularly first-time sellers with no previous experience working with government. We have
developed this series to address some of the more common pain points.
