Why do business with the Australian Government?
Take a look at the many compelling facts to see why the Australian Government market holds so much potential for your business.
- The Australian Public Service is currently made up of around 135,000 employees across 110 organisations
- There is no single government procurement market - agencies effectively operate as separate markets with thousands of people making purchasing decisions on behalf of the government
- In 2006/07, the Australian Government directly purchased over $28 billion in goods and services under more than 80,000 contractual arrangements
- Over $2 billion of this was on information and communication technology products and services. This makes the Australian Federal Government the largest single customer for these services in Australia, and one of the largest in the Asia Pacific ~ therefore, a highly attractive target for technology companies looking at expanding their business in the region.
- In the Australian Defence Force alone, spending on equipment and services is planned to reach $100 billion over the next decade.
