Supporting Commonwealth Procurement Excellence

e-volve Corporate Technology is a regional Australian SME specialising in compliant ICT supply across the Commonwealth. Our operating model is built around strict alignment to the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs), which form the foundation of all Federal Government purchasing.

The CPRs require that all procurement activity be ethical, efficient, effective, economical, and deliver value for money, supported by integrity, openness, and accountability. These principles apply to all ICT buying and underpin the way e-volve structures proposals, pricing, risk frameworks, and contract responses.

Federal ICT Procurement Goals

1. Value for Money

Commonwealth entities must consider whole-of-life costs, suitability, capability, scalability, sustainability, and risk; not simply the lowest price.

e-volve supports this by providing transparent, componentised costings, risk-aware delivery plans, and detailed value-for-money justifications.

2. Open and Fair Competition

Procurement processes must provide capable suppliers (including SMEs) with a genuine chance to compete.

e-volve supports this by producing Federal proposals that clearly meet evaluation criteria, participation conditions, and technical compliance requirements.

3. SME and Australian Industry Participation

For ICT procurements above defined thresholds, agencies must consider the economic benefit to the Australian economy, including SME participation and regional development.

As a regional NSW SME, e-volve contributes directly to local employment, regional capability uplift, and broader Australian supply-chain participation.

4. Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

Commonwealth entities must comply with Procurement Connected Policies, such as:

• Environmentally Sustainable Procurement (ESP)

• Modern Slavery reporting and due diligence

• Payment Times Reporting Obligations

e-volve partners only with vendors committed to sustainability, circular-economy programs, and transparent supply chains

5. Governance, Probity and Risk Management

Federal ICT engagements must demonstrate defensible processes, clear documentation, conflict-of-interest controls, and robust risk frameworks.

e-volve provides the supporting risk registers, governance plans, cyber-security assurances, and probity-friendly engagement structures.
