SME Gateway
SME Gateway was established in 2003 with the sole objective of providing SMEs direct access to Defence and Government panels including commercial business opportunities. We deliver all projects through a proven management structure utilising our Australian “SME companies” as a subcontractor base (including indigenous entities). This is executed through delivering a wide range of services to government agencies by consolidation/collaboration of SMEs capability through a single source “Tier 1 effective prime”. Management, operational support, control, governance and single point of contractual responsibility are key considerations as access without a valid support structure places risks of failure and resource limitations.
