Lessons learnt
A few weeks ago, we posted a discussion paper on the draft Whole of Government Common Operating Policy on our blog. Regular readers will have noticed that it didn’t attract any comments online. Some 173 separate people viewed the post in total. As this graph shows, we posted on a Friday night and most people read it early the following week. There was also a spike when an industry newsletter mentioned our blog. Read more

Consultation Draft RFT: Data Centre Facilities – Pricing Model
Thank you for the comments we have had on the Data Centre Facilities Request for Tender (RFT) so far. As I signalled in my initial post, the Statement of Requirement is only one element of the draft RFT. Another matter, which I am sure will be of interest widely, is the pricing we will ask tenderers to provide as part of their response.
To address this interest, we have prepared a description of our draft pricing model (RTF, 45k, also available in PDF, 114k, and HTML). In particular, I am interested in your views about which elements we should be pricing and whether you can identify any other elements, components or dimensions that influence price and thus should be included in the model.

Consultation Draft RFT: Data Centre Facilities
I’m Kayelle Wiltshire, Assistant Secretary of the Central Facilities Branch in AGIMO. I will be implementing the Australian Government Data Centre Strategy announced by Minister Tanner on 22 March 2010.
To implement the Strategy I have started a program of activities. A key activity will be to establish a panel of suppliers capable of providing data centre facilities to the Australian Government. The panel of suppliers will be selected based on their responses to a future Request for Tender (RFT) to join a Panel for the Provision of Data Centre Facilities. Read more
