NEW TENDERS (37 New)
ESA SCRAPPED - NEW ICT MULTI USE LIST COMMENCED
The ESA scheme will be replaced by an ICT multi-use list (MUL), in accordance with Australia’s obligations under the US Free Trade Agreement. This list will allow ICT suppliers to register basic business details online, which agencies may then use in select tender processes.
The Department of Finance and Administration (Finance) administers the ICT MUL to assist Australian Government agencies to procure products and services from suppliers in the ICT industry. To save duplication, the details of existing ESA accredited ICT suppliers will be automatically transferred to the ICT MUL.
