6: Industry Partnerships
Partnering with industry. Other Information:
The government will maintain an effective dialogue with industry. This will keep industry informed of progress towards the
government’s vision for 2010. Government will also draw on industry expertise through a series of regular industry forums,
by including industry in public sector forums for departments and agencies, and through industry consultation on procurement
plans outlined in section 3.4.3. The government will explore with industry the potential for providing access to government’s
common, standardised, modular business processes (discussed insections 3.2 and 3.3.3), so that industry can be better informed
of emerging government system and technology requirements. Increasingly, industry will be able to meet the standardised business
requirements of government in off-the-shelf product offerings. The government will develop a set of model contracts to replace
the existing Government Information Technology Contract (GITC) arrangements. These new model contracts will be developed to
apply to a range of information technology procurement circumstances, and will be more targeted than the existing GITC arrangements.
The government is also implementing new arrangements to cap liability in the majority of ICT contracts and to encourage commercial
use and exploitation of intellectual property(IP) from government procurement.
