Federal Govt issues Internet tender
The Federal Government has taken the first step in wide-ranging plans to consolidate its telecommunications spend, issuing a request for proposals from suppliers for whole of government internet services.
The Department of Finance and Deregulation, through the Australian Government Information Management Office, has for some years been flagging the move, which will fall into place alongside other major whole of government tendering initiatives for desktop PCs, for example.
