Local Government Tenders
In Jul 2000 the OIC Tender Information Management Service [TIMS] was released as an XML application.
Many of the early tenders were from local Government
In Sep 2000 there was a tender issued by a Syndicate of 9 NSW Councils for a standard Name & Address file structure which was appropriate for XML.
This tender led to the formation of the OIC Local Government & E-commerce Interest Group [LZIG]
