CCA discussion paper feedback

CCA discussion paper consultation 

The strategic review of the whole of Australian government single seller arrangements established the need for a suitability assessment framework that provides clear and transparent eligibility.

To help shape the principles for establishing seller eligibility under future coordinated contracting arrangements (CCAs), also known as single seller arrangements (SSAs), the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) has developed a discussion paper for consultation. 

The DTA is seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders, including:

• buyers
• sellers
• the Australian technology sector
• the community and general public.

Your submissions will help inform this framework and ensure it is fit-for-purpose, including:

• understanding needs and barriers in commercial relationships
• achieving broader benefits for the Australian economy
• driving digital transformation at scale through strategic innovations.

Submission overview

Submissions open Tuesday 2 June 2026 at 9:00 am (AEST) and close Tuesday 16 June 2026 at 5:00 pm (AEST). Submissions received after this time will not be considered. 

All topics and questions are optional, and there are no right or wrong responses. Your submission options include direct entry, uploading your own file (pdf, docx, odt, or equivalent), or a combination of both.
