Western Australia government tenders for IT and ICT providers
Cloud, managed services, software and cyber for WA agencies — here is how the state technology market buys.
Western Australia runs a substantial and increasingly consolidated government technology market. The state has pushed hard toward common ICT arrangements — standing whole-of-government contracts that agencies buy from directly — which means a large share of cloud, hosting, managed-services and hardware demand flows through Common Use Arrangements rather than one-off tenders. Health, education, justice and resources-sector agencies all generate significant digital and cyber requirements, and geography adds a regional-connectivity dimension you rarely see in the eastern states. For ICT suppliers, the practical path is clear: get onto the relevant Common Use Arrangements and demonstrate the security assurance WA agencies increasingly demand, then compete on delivery.

Where WA IT and ICT tenders are advertised
Tenders WA carries state government ICT procurement, including Common Use Arrangements and agency approaches to market. The state’s whole-of-government ICT arrangements cover cloud, hosting, telecommunications and hardware that agencies buy from directly. Universities and councils run their own technology tenders, and Commonwealth ICT work delivered in WA is advertised on AusTender.
The primary portal is Tenders WA. You can also see what is currently open across the state on our WA tender feed, or narrow it to your trade on the it and ict providers feed. If you would rather not check portals at all, our guide to finding government tenders covers every jurisdiction and how to watch them together.
What you need to bid
These are the credentials WA buyers check before they assess anything else. A gap here is a compliance failure, not a scoring deduction — it removes your bid regardless of price.
- Registration on the relevant WA Common Use Arrangements (ICT services, hardware, cloud) for your service lines
- Demonstrated information-security assurance (ISO 27001, alignment to recognised control frameworks)
- Australian/WA data-hosting capability where required for government data
- A track record of government or large-enterprise ICT delivery
- Capacity to support regional sites and connectivity where relevant
Our guides on ABNs and licences for tenders and tender insurance requirements go through each of these in detail, including how long they take to obtain.
The work that actually comes up
The contracts below recur year after year in Western Australia. Knowing the pattern tells you which capability to evidence in your capability statement.

- Software development and digital-service delivery
- Cyber security assessment, uplift and monitoring
- ICT support, service desk and end-user computing
- Telecommunications and connectivity for metro and regional sites
Pricing WA IT and ICT tenders
WA government ICT is priced through CUA rate cards, fixed-price milestones or day rates depending on the engagement, with cloud and managed services typically consumption or subscription based. Regional delivery can carry connectivity and travel loadings. Being on the relevant Common Use Arrangement removes a lot of per-deal friction and lets you compete on capability and rate rather than re-qualifying each time.
For the full method — cost build-up, overhead recovery, contingency and how to sanity-check against published award values — see how to price a tender and the tender response checklist. Before you price anything, run the bid/no-bid scorecard so you are only pricing work worth winning.
