The Department of Government Services aims to improve the way government accesses information about digital products and services through its new Digital Marketplace.
The Digital Marketplace is an online environment that makes it easier for businesses to interact with the Victorian Government to supply ICT infrastructure and services.
State purchase contracts will be gradually enabled through the Digital Marketplace.
Follow this process to gain access to the Digital Marketplace (Government users only).
Step 1: Authorised Officer approval
To access the Digital Marketplace, the Lead Department requires written approval from the Agency’s Authorised Officer.
An Authorised Officer can be a:
- Chief Procurement Officer.
- Chief Financial Officer.
- Chief Executive Officer.
Confirm with the Authorised Officer that your name has been provided to the Lead Department.
If not, the Authorised Officer will need to email spc.access@dtf.vic.gov.au with the following:
- Full name and title of the Authorised Officer.
- Name of the relevant entity.
- Full name of the buyer requesting access to the Digital Marketplace.
- Job title and team / business unit of the relevant buyer.
Once this is complete, register to access the Digital Marketplace system.
Step 2: Register as a buyer
Create an account and complete the buyer profile information in the Digital Marketplace system.
Step 3: Request access
Buyers need to request access to each state purchase contract separately.
Buyers will receive an email notification once final approval has been granted.
The Lead Department reserves the right to provide and rescind approval for any individual requesting access to Digital Marketplace, at its absolute discretion.
