Supplier standard for digital and technology service providers

The supplier standard includes 6 principles which outline how the government and suppliers should work together.

The principles are:

1. User needs first.
2. Data is a public asset.
3. Services built on open standards and reusable components.
4. Simple, clear, fast transactions.
5. Ongoing engagement.
6. Transparent contracting.

The standard, which was published on 7 September, is currently in public beta.
