26ACMA053 - Chief Technology Officer 'as a service'

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is undertaking a procurement process to secure specialised services that will support the modernisation of its digital and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) environment. ACMA’s core systems and infrastructure are ageing, fragmented, and increasingly misaligned with the agency’s strategic priorities and whole of government digital directions.

Although ACMA has strong technical delivery and operational teams, the agency requires strengthened enterprise level technology leadership to unify ICT decision making, improve strategic alignment, and drive coordinated modernisation. This includes uplift in digital investment planning, architecture governance, and overall technology oversight.

ACMA is seeking quotations for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) ‘as a Service’ capability that will provide strategic technology leadership, contemporary architecture governance, and guidance to ensure ICT investment delivers measurable business and regulatory outcomes. The successful provider will bring strong industry partnerships and deep technology market insight, ensuring ACMA’s future ICT decisions are informed by emerging trends, vendor innovations, and proven, high‑value solutions.
