The Defence & Industry e-Portal
The ePortal
supports the Defence Strategic Reform Program (SRP) by providing the
basis of a cost effective, two way, e-business service delivery channel
for defence industry to access information on DMO Projects, Priority
Industry Capabilities, the Skilling Australia’s Defence Industry (SADI),
the Defence White Paper 2009, Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific
Century: Force 2030 and the public Defence Capability Plan 2009.
The Bulletin Board feature of the
ePortal is increasingly being used to advertise forthcoming industry
briefings, and to reach out to potential new market entrants. This in
turn increases competition by broadening the potential supplier base, and
delivering enhanced value for money in procurement.
