Sourcing method

How Vendor Guide qualifies vendors

Vendor Guide is a sourcing reference for 56 Australian B2B technology vendors, organised by business capability. It lists 40 software vendors and 16 infrastructure and IT service vendors, so procurement teams can see who supplies each capability before a request for quotation.

Capability matrix

Each vendor is mapped to the capabilities evidenced on its official site. 12 capabilities have three or more vendors and a capability page. The largest are cloud services (10), server hosting (7), web hosting (7) and booking and ticketing (6). Mapping reflects what a vendor offers, not an assessment of fit for a specific requirement.

Qualification

Vendors qualify with Australian evidence from their own sites: 25 state Australian operations, 18 list an Australian office, 7 show Australian origin and 6 an Australian headquarters. Software vendors must also show a named product. Agencies and consultancies that only use or implement third-party products are not treated as software vendors.

Outside scope

No security certifications, compliance claims, contract terms, client references or pricing tables are published, as none are verified here. Where a vendor publishes pricing, a link is provided (19 vendors). Every vendor list is alphabetical.

Using the guide in procurement

Treat an entry as a starting point for due diligence: confirm capabilities, hosting location and terms with the vendor directly before shortlisting. Each record links to the vendor's official site and, where one is published, its contact page.
