33222 (2026). Reuben Davidson to the Minister for the Public Service and Digitising Government: Which vendor was selected to build the Government Credential Issuance Platform, what is the value of that contract, and was it awarded through an open competitive tender?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that the vendor selected to build the Government Credential Issuance Platform was MATTR. The contract value for implementation was $60,000, with a monthly charge of $32,981 at current usage volumes (this changes as usage increases over time), plus a $10,000 one-off charge per agency onboarded and a $1500 per month charge. The procurement followed an Open Competitive Tender Request for Information (RFI) and then the Open Request for Proposal (RFP) process via Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS).
