Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 1 Hansard (22 February) . . Page.. 271 ..

Mrs Carnell (continuing):

The AUSTOUCH project has engaged the Community Information and Referral Service of the ACT Incorporated to provide an electronic version of the community information handbook, "Contact".

(4) Tenderers were required to provide an information kiosk service which is at least equivalent to AUSTOUCH, which includes all existing government and community information. The tendered service will also include payment facilities to allow the public to make payments to the government such as rates, electricity and water.

The key tender criteria were:

. technical and service specifications;

. marketing and sales;

. benefits to the ACT economy; and

. cost reductions.

Negotiations will be held with the service provider to put in place a system that effectively encourages community organisations to provide their information to the service.
