IT Contractor Procurement Reform Program - Industry Briefing
Canberra
The current procurement model for ICT Contractor Resources has been utilised by Federal Government for more than 10 years. It is the ATO’s belief that given changes in the ICT industry and recruitment practices over this time that the current process may not be an effective long-term solution.
On 4th February 2014 the ATO commenced an IT Contractor Procurement Reform Program with a view to establishing a best practice approach to IT Contractor procurement, engagement and ongoing management that will deliver:
• Improved industry engagement;
• Greater efficiency in identifying and engaging contractor resources;
• Enhanced contractor engagement, retention and performance;
• Enhanced accountability and transparency through the procurement process; and
• Ongoing, sustained cost reductions.
The ATO is seeking to make working with the ATO simpler and more cost effective for industry and in return are looking to achieve greater efficiency and cost savings.
