In August 2011 the Government agreed on a
whole-of-government multi-supplier approach to the procurement and
delivery of future telephony and related services.
The Treasurer's
Instruction 1112 Common use / Whole-of-government
contracts and other arrangements: goods and services provides
that agencies are required to use the integrated communications
services and arrangements provided by TMD, Department of Premier
and Cabinet, including fixed and mobile voice and data carriage,
interconnecting service gateways, telephony, desktop
videoconferencing, instant messaging and related end user
devices.
TMD has arrangements in place for the supply
of all goods and services listed as forming part of the integrated
communications services. Depending on the component, TMD may
provide the goods or services, establish agreements under which the
goods or services may be purchased, or establish technical
standards relating to the goods or services. If an agency has a
niche requirement, for example in relation to security or
interconnection with a system maintained by another jurisdiction or
third party, TMD can assist the agency to meet that requirement
while using the Government's integrated communications
services and arrangements.
Information in relation to relevant
arrangements established by TMD can be obtained from the TMD
website at www.tmd.tas.gov.au.
A major project is underway through TMD to
replace all obsolescent analogue telephony services across
Government with IP telephony and related services before March
2014.
