DCCEEW is seeking access to Tender 360, a platform as a service solution to the management of tender applications.

We are also seeking the development of a landing page for the first use of the software (relating to Water resources).

Could the supplier please comment on:

Suppliers will comment on the extent to which their solution (including components of the solution) aligns with existing WofG policies, frameworks and strategies including the Digital Service Platforms Strategy, Whole of Government Hosting Strategy, Secure Cloud Strategy, National API Design Standards and the Digital Service Standard;

The product must meet and be delivered in accordance with WofG Cyber Security Requirements.
