Western Australia is at a key point in its digital journey. With a $900 million Digital Capability Fund (DCF) now available, there is significant pressure to update old systems, provide connected digital services, and achieve the goals outlined in the WA Government Strategy 2025 – 2029.
The digital priorities are Advocacy and Education, Advisory and Technical Support, Finance and Supply, Data and Digital Facility Sharing, and Opportunity Facilitation. However, securing funding and making a real impact requires expertise. That’s where Tango comes in.
The Opportunity:
The Digital Capability Fund was created to support government entities by:
- Accelerating digital service reform
- Targeting strategic ICT investments
- Upgrading legacy systems
- Reducing risk and duplication
- Delivering better outcomes for the WA community
Projects are evaluated based on their alignment, impact, feasibility, and risk mitigation, with risk being the most heavily weighted factor at 40%. The Office of Digital Government (DGoV) oversees the process, while the WA Government makes the final decisions.
Success involves more than meeting eligibility criteria. It requires a solid, evidence-based business case that clearly communicates the investment’s value. That is exactly how Tango helps our clients secure their share of the fund.

How We Can Help You Secure Digital Capability Funding
Tango supports government agencies through every step of the funding process:
Define the Change
We help clarify what needs to change and why through:
- Discovery workshops with internal stakeholders
- Mapping current and future system states
- Identifying risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities
- Validating requirements and strategic goals
We prepare documentation that meets DCF expectations:
- Clear statements of the reasons for change
- Defined operational, financial, and commodity benefits
- Cost estimates, high-level timelines, and ROI modelling
- Risk and compliance analysis meeting DCF criteria
Run a Market Informed RFI
We manage a Request for Information process to validate solution feasibility and cost:
- Engage potential suppliers with your draft requirements without compromising your eventual tendering options
- Gather real-world data to strengthen the business case
- Summarise findings to show preparedness and due diligence
Align with Governance and Assessment Criteria
We make sure your proposal fits DCF’s scoring framework:
- Address cyber risk, compliance, and service continuity
- Position your project within WA Government priorities
- Provide assurance documentation that satisfies Treasury and DGov
Support Project Delivery
Once funding is secured, we can continue to offer strategic oversight and help with project delivery, including:
- Supplier evaluation and contract negotiation
- Project Management
- Change management and communication
- Data migration and business continuity planning
When we break it down like this, it may seem overwhelming. But imagine doing it without our support. We’ve helped organisations maximise the benefits of the Digital Capability Fund, and we can do the same for you.
