The Department of Treasury and Finance (‘DTF’) plays a leading role in economic, financial and resource management to support the Victorian Government in delivering on its policies. It contributes to the sound financial management of the State of Victoria’s (‘State’) fiscal resources through better value for money outcomes in whole of government and departmental procurement. For the purposes of this EOI, DTF is acting on behalf of the State.

DTF is calling for expressions of interest from eligible entities who wish to be considered by the State for participation in the upcoming Master Agency Media Services Request for Tender. The MAMS RFT is expected to take place in April 2020 with a view to appointing the State’s supplier of media services. A high-level description of the Services and/or Deliverables that the MAMS Supplier will be required to provide to the State is set out in Part A.2 of the EOI - (Overview of Requirements) and a comprehensive specification will be provided to those who are invited to participate in the MAMS RFT.

Prior to commencing the MAMS RFT, the State seeks to first engage with the media supplier market and assess the capability of its participants. This EOI will be the first stage of the procurement process and all the Responses to this EOI will be evaluated by the State in accordance with the process described in Part A.1 of the EOI - (About this EOI). Based on this evaluation, the State will then determine which Respondents (if any) will be invited to participate in the MAMS RFT. The State will, in its discretion, invite those Respondents it considers appropriate and makes no commitment or representation as to any minimum or maximum number of Respondents that will receive an invitation from the State (if any).

Please note that prior to submitting a bid, bidders are encouraged to consider whether they have the resources, experience and capacity to deliver the full range of required services.
