Forge Data Solutions
Pty Ltd Retains Endorsed Government Supplier Status
SYDNEY, Australia, June 23, 2003
Forge Data Solutions (Forge) is happy to announce that
the Department of Finance and Administration has renewed their status
as an Endorsed Supplier to the Federal Government.
The Endorsed Supplier Arrangement (ESA) provides pre-qualification
for businesses in the Information Technology, Major Office Machines,
Commercial Office Furniture and Auctioneering industries to sell
to the Commonwealth Government. It is mandatory for Commonwealth
Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) agencies
to use the ESA when purchasing Information Technology (IT) and Major
Office Machines (MOM) products and services.
The ESA is supported by an Internet based Application
and Search system. Businesses apply online and once endorsed can
update their supplier information, as they require. An Endorsed
Supplier's business information is promoted by publishing these
details on the Internet made available through the Search system.
Government buyers use the Search system to find information on suppliers,
its outlet/dealer networks and the products and services they offer.
"We are very happy that Forge has successfully
retained its Endorsed Government Supplier Status," explains
Will Rooke, Director of Forge Data Solutions. "It's a wonderful
opportunity for us to continue to promote our products and services
to the Government agencies who have always been keen and loyal customers."
Only companies who comply with the criteria are awarded
the Endorsed Government Supplier status. The criteria used includes
assessment of industry development activities in Australia, financial
viability, favourable referee reports, product and service compliance
with the agreed industry standards and an appropriately signed Head
Agreement.
