Burke Strategic Partners
Strategic Vendor Management
The Australian Government and Burke Strategic Partners de-risk technology investments and optimise public value across complex software ecosystems. Operating as an Advanced Supplier under the NSW Government ICT Services Scheme (SCM0020), Burke Strategic Partners acts as an independent commercial Prime Contractor. Legacy software resellers sign the contract and disappear; Burke Strategic Partners stays engaged for the life of the contract to facilitate success.
Burke Strategic Partners resolves contractual gridlock by executing head agreements directly with government agencies, absorbing statutory liability onto our Prime ledger backed by $20M+ insured liability caps. We maintain a strict Technical Execution Firewall: Burke Strategic Partners delivers 0% technical implementation, while selected technology publishers deliver 100% of software capabilities and native professional services.
Operating under our Vendor Management Framework (VMF), we align public sector procurement with continuous post-award governance. We conduct high-velocity commercial syncs, audit licence utilisation, and enforce Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) to eliminate software waste and prevent value leakage across multi-year agency deployments.

Pre-Qualified SCM0020 Access: Advanced Supplier status across 16 core ICT categories.
