About this tender
This Tender is invited by the Issuer.

ISD is responsible for the management and delivery of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) functions and activities across Australia and overseas for the department.

The Infrastructure Program Delivery Section is under a large capital refresh program which aims to maintain the technology environment and reduce severe departmental risk. ICT Technical Specialists are required to lead the Infrastructure workstream and deliver individual projects within the program.

This will be achieved through implementing solutions that enhance cyber security, lower complexity, consolidate and standardise the environment, improve stability, resiliency and functionality for hosted applications and their end-users, and ultimately avoid unnecessary costs of running hosted server environments.
