SIMPLIFIED ICT PROCUREMENT ARRANGEMENTS TO ASSIST SMEs

Simplification of the industry development arrangements for Federal
Government procurement of information and communications technology (ICT)
and a facilitation package for small-to-medium sized ICT enterprises (SMEs),
were today announced by the Minister for Communications, Information
Technology and the Arts, Senator Richard Alston. This announcement fulfils
the Coalition Government's election commitment to progress the industry
development arrangements for ICT procurement in consultation with the sector.

PLUGgers that are participating in the SME sector, were you part of any 
consultation ? Anyway, it appears that it is a rework of the Partnerships 
for Development programme.

All the best
