What the buyer is requesting
Details
The Office of Assurance and Investment (OAI) is seeking Expressions of Interest from suppliers interested in tendering for a refresh of the ICTSS.2104 Portfolio, Program and Project (3P) Assurance Services panel.
In 2024, the Department of Customer Services, Open Data and Small and Family Business (CDSB) established ICTSS.2104 Portfolio, Program and Project (3P) Assurance Services (the Panel). The Panel is a Common-Use-Supply-Arrangement established for whole-of-government use. The suppliers on the Panel have been pre-qualified to provide objective and independent assurance services that Queensland Government departments are required to meet their compliance obligations under the Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture (QGEA) Portfolio, Program and Project Management and Assurance Policy (the Policy) and QGEA Portfolio, Program and Project Assurance Framework (the Framework).
OAI is reviewing the Panel requirements and making amendments to align with global best practice methodologies in digital and ICT-enabling projects, programs and portfolios.

As advised in the request, this is an Expression of Interest only.
The information provided advises "more details will be made available when the tender is released" and "The tender will be released late April/early May, closing 4 weeks later."
Suppliers are only required at this stage to Express Interest if they want to be included in the Tender.
Thank you

Question
:
Will suppliers need to respond if they are already on the panel (and wish to stay on the panel but not seeking any change in service offering)?

If you are an existing Supplier and are not changing your offerings, then there is no requirement to submit a response to this request.
If there are service offerings that a current Supplier has that wasn't included in the original submission and aligns with one of the categories in this Expression of Interest, then you need to respond to receive the refresh tender documentation to be considered for the new service offerings.
Anything that an existing Supplier on the SOA is offering that has already been evaluated and found suitable will remain unchanged and current on the SOA.
Thank you
