Working Within the Mandated ICT Procurement Frameworks

e-volve holds full accreditation to supply State Government agencies through the mandated ICT procurement structures, including:

• NSW ICT Purchasing Framework (Core & MICTA/ICTA contracts)

• SCM0020 ICT Services Scheme

• C9826 End-User Compute Contract (as a Regional SME supplier)

Our solutions are built to meet the State Government Procurement Board Directions, allowing agencies to transact quickly, compliantly, and with reduced risk.

ICT Procurement Goals

1. Value for Money and Strong Governance

Under the State Government Procurement Policy Frameworks, agencies are required to show that their decisions are defensible, deliver whole-of-life value, and align clearly with expected outcomes. e-volve provides comprehensive explanations covering quality, sustainability, risk, and economic benefits across every proposal.

2. Mandatory Use of ICT Schemes and Contracts

As ICT purchasing must use:

• SCM0020 ICT Services Scheme

• Core& contracts for lower-risk ICT

• MICTA/ICTA contracts for high-risk or >$1M ICT

e-volve has extensive experience delivering fully compliant responses across all required State ICT procurement instruments.

3. SME and Regional Procurement Objectives

As the State Government prioritises:

• Engagement with SMEs

• Increased participation from regional businesses

• Local economic uplift

• Reduced barriers for small suppliers

e-volve is well-positioned to meet these priorities as a regional SME capable of delivering at scale.

4. Environmental Sustainability and Circular Economy

State Government requires agencies to embed sustainability into ICT purchasing, including:

• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

• Increased device reuse & refurbishment

• Environmentally responsible suppliers

• e-waste reduction and recycling pathways

e-volve enables these outcomes via tier-one vendors providing repairability, take-back programs, energy efficiency, and lifecycle transparency.

5. Modern Slavery & Ethical Sourcing

State Government buyers must ensure supply-chain risk is assessed and mitigated.

e-volve supplies vendor statements, chain-of-custody information, remediation pathways, and compliance documentation.
