What the buyer is requesting
Details
The Department of Primary Industries (Department) through the Information Technology Partners (ITP) intend to approach the market to procure Information Technology Financial Management (ITFM) System.
ITP is a shared Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Information Management (IM) service provider operating under a cost-recovery model. It is responsible for planning, delivery, and financial management of technology services to ensure they align with all agencies’ strategy and operational requirements within the Business and Corporate Partnership.
ITP requires a modern ITFM system that provides efficiency, transparency, accountability, and alignment with the TBM framework. The multi-agency structure of ITP’s operating model introduces additional complexity in financial management and reporting. To maintain stakeholder confidence and ensure sound governance, the system must deliver accurate cost attribution, equitable cost recovery, and customised reporting. The ITFM system is expected to address both operational requirements and strategic objectives, enabling ITP to demonstrate value, support continuous improvement, and strengthen evidence-based decision-making.

Hi team,
Can you please answer following questions in Attachment 1 – ITFM Functional and Non-Functional Business Requirements?

o Please confirm if this is accurate.

2. Please describe your current budgeting, planning, and forecasting processes.
o Which tools or systems are presently in use?
o What key business challenges or improvement areas are you seeking to address?
3. How is compensation budgeting carried out?
o Is it performed at the individual employee level, the position level, or both?
4. Does ITP hold fixed assets?
o If so, how are you budgeting for depreciation and asset maintenance costs?
o Is budgeting performed at the individual asset level?
5. How are non-compensation operating expenses budgeted?
o Please identify the principal cost drivers used in this process.
6. Is long-term financial planning (LTFP) undertaken?
o If yes, what is the duration of the LTFP cycle?
o Is it based on the annual budget?
o Which drivers (e.g., EBA percentage increases, CPI, revenue growth) are used?
7. How frequently is forecasting performed during the financial year (e.g., monthly, quarterly)?
o Is the forecast limited to the current year or extended to multiple future years?
8. Which HR system is currently used within ITP?
Section 2 – Cost Transparency
9. What level of cost allocation is required?
o For example: shared services allocation, IT-department only, technology-solution level, or consumer level.
10. Please outline your current chart of accounts structure in brief.
o How many segments are in use?
11. How frequently is costing performed (e.g., monthly, quarterly)?
12. Provide a brief description of the current costing process and how it is managed.
13. Have logical cost-allocation flows already been defined, or will consulting support be required to develop these?
14. Are you seeking to develop an internal pricing model within the cost-allocation framework, and can actual billing details be sourced against individual business units?
