Sixty Victorian small to medium IT companies will have the opportunity to share in up to $30 million of the Bracks Government’s IT investment over the next three years.
The Minister for Information and Communication Technology, Marsha Thomson announced that 105 companies had been selected by tender for a new electronic services supplier panel.
“Victorian companies represent more than half the total panel and more than 80% of the Australian suppliers,” Ms Thomson said.
“This will have positive flow-on effects for the IT industry in Victoria – providing greater certainty and opportunities for business.”
Ms Thomson said following a rigorous selection process, the Government could now work with the 105 companies to continue to deliver on the commitment to use new networks and new technology to serve Victorians better.
Victorian IT companies represent 56 per cent of the total panel, and 82 per cent of the Australian companies selected.
“The Whole of Victorian Government e-Services Panel is a key part of the Bracks Government’s vision to become more open, efficient and accessible.
“This involves the Government itself continuing to be a leading-edge user of technology to improve Government service delivery, increase the number of services available online and make it simpler for people to deal with Government online.
Ms Thomson said the panel contains companies with expertise in a diverse range of electronic services including e-services strategy, web development and online management and aims to support the continued development of electronic services across all Government departments.
The panel, which would operate for a minimum of three years, would be reviewed each year to monitor and assess the performance of panel members and enable other companies to come on board.
Ms Thomson said the contracts with the 105 companies would be established electronically – the first time a whole-of-Government contract had been signed this way.
Electronic signatures were given the same legal authority as paper signatures when the Bracks Government passed the Electronic Transactions Act in 2000
