Lockheed Martin preferred tenderer for the Centralised Processing Project

Lockheed Martin Australia has been selected as the preferred tenderer for the provision of Centralised Processing services to Defence.

The goal of the Centralised Processing Project is to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of data centre delivery in Defence. 

It will also consolidate Defence’s infrastructure and applications from within 280 data centres to 11 physical locations domestically and three internationally.

Defence will now enter into further negotiations with Lockheed Martin Australia to finalise the contract for provision of Centralised Processing services. 

Finalisation of this process is also subject to Government Second Pass approval later this year. 

At this stage, no contract has been awarded.
