Cloud Services Panel

The DTA is approaching the market to refresh the Cloud Services Panel (SON2914302). The Panel provides a non-mandatory procurement mechanism for agencies to access Cloud Services without a full approach to market.

Agencies subject to the Public Governance Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (Cth), or any other body governed by the Governor-General or State Governor or Minister of State, may access this cooperative procurement.

Agencies are able to access the following services under the Cloud Services Panel:

• Software as a Service (SaaS);
• Platform as a Service (PaaS);
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); and
• Specialist Cloud Services (SCS).

Cloud Services are considered out of scope if they:

• do not meet the Essential Characteristics of Cloud Services as defined by NIST:
• On-demand self-service;
• Broad network access;
• Resource pooling;
• Rapid elasticity; and
• Measured service;
• do not meet Service Model specific requirements; and
• are managed services.
