Working Within the Mandated ICT Procurement Frameworks

Our delivery model is designed to align with each jurisdiction’s whole-of-government ICT purchasing rules, procurement board directions, and SME participation objectives — ensuring every engagement is defensible, auditable, and value-driven.

State ICT Procurement Goals and How e-volve Delivers

1. Value for Money and Strong Governance

State procurement policies require agencies to demonstrate decisions that are defensible, outcome-focused, and based on whole-of-life value — not lowest price alone.

e-volve supports this by providing:

• Transparent, componentised pricing

• Whole-of-life cost analysis

• Clear risk and mitigation strategies

• Sustainability and economic-benefit explanations

• Governance-ready documentation suitable for audit review.
  

2. Mandatory Use of ICT Schemes and Contracts

Across all states, ICT procurement must be conducted through approved and mandated panels, including:

• ICT services schemes

• Core / low-risk ICT contracts

• High-risk or high-value ICT contracting instruments

E-volve has deep operational experience delivering fully compliant responses across these frameworks, ensuring agencies transact within policy and without delay.

3. SME and Regional Procurement Objectives

NSW, Victoria, WA, and Tasmania all prioritise:

• Increased SME participation

• Regional economic development

• Reduced barriers to market entry

• Local capability uplift

As a regional NSW SME with national delivery capability, e-volve directly supports these objectives while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and scalability.

4. Environmental Sustainability and Circular Economy

State Governments require ICT procurement to embed sustainability, including:

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

• Device reuse, refurbishment, and life extension

• Responsible e-waste handling and recycling

• Supplier environmental accountability

e-volve enables these outcomes through tier-one vendors offering:

• Repairable and energy-efficient devices

• Take-back and refurbishment programs

• Circular-economy reporting

• Full lifecycle transparency.
  

5. Modern Slavery & Ethical Sourcing

All State Governments require active assessment and mitigation of supply-chain risks, including modern slavery.

e-volve provides:

• Vendor modern slavery statements

• Supply-chain mapping and chain-of-custody documentation

• Ethical sourcing attestations

• Remediation pathways where risks are identified.
