Let them know

The portal is the eServices Register, an online system the Victorian government is using to give suppliers a better chance of providing some of its annual ICT needs.

The article says the Victorian government has about $1.5 billion in annual ICT needs that the portal aims to help source from suppliers.

Suppliers — including small suppliers — can register on the eServices Register so government agencies can find them.

By allowing small suppliers to register on a single online portal, the eServices Register makes it easier for government agencies to discover and consider them for parts of the $1.5 billion annual ICT spend.

The eServices Register is built on Ariba, which the article identifies as owned by SAP.

Yes — the purpose of the eServices Register is for suppliers to register so government agencies can find them.

No — the article does not specify geographic eligibility. It only states that suppliers can register on the eServices Register.
