Context

ICT Procurement policy and standards are the responsibility of the Director Technology, Government Services Division, Department of Treasury and Finance.

They are not VGPB policies.

Key Requirements

The ICT procurement policy and standards came into effect on 3 July 2006. The policy and standards apply to contracts and tenders involving the procurement of ICT goods and services.

The standards cover four key areas:

• insurance and its relationship to the particular procurement;
• setting liability according to the risk profile of the procurement;
• ownership of intellectual property of software created for the Victorian Government; and
• key contractual terms on which government prefers to procure ICT goods and services.
