“The eServices Register will provide a simplified process for Victorian ICT companies bidding for government work, and allow the Victorian Government to make more informed purchasing decisions from a greater range of suppliers as well as monitor the range and scope of eServices engagements”, said Gordon Rich-Phillips, Technology Minister of Victoria.
Suppliers must join the eServices Register to access the electronic market place and search and bid for available Victorian Government ICT projects. The entire procurement process will take place within the marketplace, from sending quotes to developing contracts. Suppliers and department heads will no longer need to use email for sending notifications, which can also be done through the Register.
The online register replaces the eServices panel that the Victorian government has been using for ICT procurement. The new eServices register offers new tools and it easier for suppliers and government departments to use. For examples, the register offers business intelligence and key metrics to both purchasers and suppliers to allow better benchmarking of IT service procurement.
Suppliers will be able to identify possible partners through the register, giving small and medium companies the chance to participate in projects they could not handle on their own.
The eServices Register meets the principles of the Victorian Government ICT Strategy which recommends the use of off-the-shelf commercial software by using the Ariba network, a cloud-based business commerce network. Suppliers that join the eServices Network will gain global exposure through this network.
The use of the eServices Register will be mandatory for all inner budget departments and administrative offices.
