Dear JP

The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information (FOI) request made on 15 October 2022 for:

' As per the Digital Transformation Agency’s Procurement of ICT-Related Services (https://www.anao.gov.au/work/performance...), please provide information relating to which companies responded to the DTA's HGIT RFT and the evaluation ranking of these respondents.

"Three tenders were evaluated as either ‘good’ or ‘satisfactory’ against each of the two assessment criteria; and two were evaluated as poor." (pp 48-50).'

I wish to inform you that your request contains information relating to third parties. As a result, DTA is required to consult.

Notice of Consultation

Your request covers a document relating to the business, commercial or financial affairs of an organization. Accordingly, DTA is required to consult with the organisation concerned before making a decision on the release of this document.

Section 27 of the FOI Act provides that if a request is made to an agency for access to a document containing business information organisation, and it appears to the agency that the organization might reasonably wish to make a contention that the document is exempt under section 47 (trade secrets etc), or section 47G (business information) of the FOI Act, then the agency must not decide to give access to the document unless the organisation concerned is given a reasonable opportunity to make submissions in support of their contention, if it is reasonably practicable to do so.

The DTA will take into account any comments we receive from the organisation. However, the final decision on whether to grant access to the document requested rests with DTA.

Extension of time to process the request

In accordance with section 15(6) of the FOI Act, the period for processing your request has been extended by an additional 30 days in order to allow DTA time to consult with the organisation. The processing period for this request will now end on 15 December 2022.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly
