ICT Services Scheme

The ICT Services Scheme has been extended for 5 years until 28 February 2029.

NSW Government buyers can continue using the ICT Services Scheme as usual. The ICT Services Scheme will remain open to new suppliers, and no action is required from existing suppliers under the scheme.

Minor updates to scheme rules.

The Department of Customer Service has made the following updates to the ICT Services Scheme Rules:

• updated instructions on how to apply for the scheme using buy.nsw
• clarified insurance requirements
• updated references to the ICT Purchasing Framework.

The scheme rules have been updated for compliance with the Enforceable Procurement Provisions (EPP) Direction.

The Department of Customer Services has reviewed the ICT Services Scheme (SCM0020) and established a procurement list. The procurement list provides a procurement pathway that is compliant with PBD 2019-05 Enforceable Procurement Provisions (EPP Direction).

All buyers and suppliers using the scheme should familiarise themselves with the updated ICT Services Scheme Rules DOCX, 999Kb.

Supplier transition to the procurement list

All current suppliers on the scheme are deemed to be part of the procurement list. No action is required from suppliers to transition to the list.

Requirements to join the scheme remain the same. These are outlined in clause 9 of the scheme rules.

Complying with the EPP Direction when using the ICT Services Scheme

When procuring ICT-related goods and services over the $680,000 threshold, NSW Government agencies can comply with the EPP Direction by using a prequalified supplier on the ICT Services Scheme.

Limited tendering is allowed under specific circumstances. These are outlined in clause 14 of the scheme rules.
