Commitment 4.3 of the Open Government National Action Plan was to undertake a review of Australia’s existing compliance with the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS), publish the review and receive public comment before implementing any agreed measures to increase Australia’s compliance.
On Monday 21 August I released the PEMS EOI for your response by Friday 15 September 2017.
A response to a clarification question was provided in Addenda 01 to the EOI on Wednesday 30 August. This week, we’ve received the following further requests for clarification:
Question 1:
Can you please provide breakdown of estimated 3000 users for each of groups identified (Users, Administrators, Industry)?
Can you please provide estimated number of expenses processed per year?
Finance has released a draft Head Agreement (which includes the Statement of Requirement) and Whole of Government Business Process Standards Framework for comment.
The draft Head Agreement and Whole of Government Business Process Standards Framework are now available on AusTender at FIN/006/17/NOTICE3.
Following some movements in the Department of Finance, I will be taking over as the Australian Government Procurement Coordinator.
I am looking forward to taking on this new role and engaging with you to improve knowledge of Australian Government procurement and address any issues you would like to raise.
I would also like to thank John Sheridan, who has achieved a tremendous amount in his almost five years as Procurement Coordinator, and wish him well in his new position within the Department of Finance.
