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.
