The ICT Marketplace has the potential to radically improve the way agencies procure capability that is aligned with the Government ICT Strategy and expose innovation.

The ICT Marketplace will enable:

  • Agencies to access innovative ICT services quickly
  • Greater competition and choice from innovative suppliers

  • Reduction in time and cost to procure, security accredit and deploy cloud services
  • Reduction in cost and duplication of effort and investment in the risk assessment of public cloud services
