This Week’s New Tenders (41 New)
NSW government pushes state-wide ICT plan
The NSW government has detailed progress on its plans to implement a four-year state-wide information and communications technology (ICT) plan and reform e-procurement as part of a wider strategy to save the state AU$2.5 billion in public sector costs.
The government said today in an economic and financial statement it would establish a single capital fund for ICT in the forthcoming state budget, and develop a state-wide ICT plan to determine whole-of-government priorities. A council of senior public sector chief information officers, already working on the plan, had identified capital savings for the coming year of AU$50 million and savings in operating expenditure of AU$20 million. First priority would be to reduce the government's AU$260 million expenditure on voice telecommunications.
AIIA and AEEMA Announce Proposed Merger Will Not Proceed
After a period of extensive investigation, the boards of both the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and the Australian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (AEEMA) have now decided to work together on common interests in close collaboration, rather than to proceed with a formal merger. In April 2005, the associations announced the possibility of merging to create a new organisation to represent the diverse technology-based and wealth-creating industry sectors which underpin Australia’s economy.
