Qld Government
The State of Queensland (also referred to as the Queensland Government or Qld State Govt) operates key services to support our growing technology landscape and digital economy.
Digital Projects Dashboard
The Queensland Government maintains a dashboard of digital projects across state-level departments. The high-level summary dashboard showcases selected projects and the detailed dashboard outlines project data at a department level, and allows for filtering and drill-downs as needed. The dashboard also provides a view of current government digital priorities and links to the ICT tenders available on QTenders.
QTenders
Doing business with the Queensland Government is facilitated by the QTenders website where RFx (requests for quotation, proposal, information) are posted.
