DTA Initiates Strategic Review of Government IT Procurement Practices

The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) is reevaluating government IT procurement by issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a strategic review of single-supplier mega-deals. This initiative aims to assess their effectiveness, explore competitive procurement methods, and enhance service delivery in the public sector. Local technology firms have raised concerns about these agreements stifling competition, prompting the DTA to seek insights on fostering innovation and ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively.
