AAF Inc. Operator Appointment Process
The AAF Inc Interim Executive Committee has terminated the current RFO process and endorsed the continuation of the current support strategy and infrastructure hosting arrangements through to 31 December 2011, noting that:
- the AAF’s intent remains to outsource its operations; and
- the outsourcing process will be restarted when the AAF’s activities have reached a normal operating state.
Background
The Australian Access Federation (AAF) commenced the process to appoint an Operator(s) to deliver many of the AAF services to Federation participants on its behalf. The process involved the following two stages:
Stage 1 – a Request for Information (RFI)
In October/November 2009, the AAF advertised nationally for suitably qualified and experienced companies to respond to a RFI. The closing date for responses was 30 November 2009. Shortlisted Respondents were evaluated by the AAF on the basis of the RFI Selection Criteria outlined in the RFI Response Form and RFI Schedule.
Stage 2 – a Request for Offer (RFO)
As indicated above, the AAF Inc Interim Executive Committee has terminated the current process to appoint an Operator(s).
