Dear Australian Signals Directorate,

 

In Senate Order 13, you say you billed another government department, the
Digital Transformation Agency, for a sum of money for 'Data Voice or
Multimedia Network Equipment or Platforms and Accessories' under contract
number CN3582734.

 

Can you please explain what this service or product was and how it will be
used?

 

In 2019, you say you billed the Department of the Prime Minister and
Cabinet over half a million dollars under CN3591277 for BETA services
Memorandum of Understanding for cyber security. Can you explain the
meaning of this item and describe the services provided?

 

The following contract numbers describe 'psychological assessments'
contracts, apparently by eight different companies, for services in excess
of 2.5 million dollars. Can you please provide any information or insight
into what this is for and why it is necessary to carry out psychological
assessments on staff or others?
