Connecting Suppliers To Opportunities
Tango IT is all about streamlining IT procurement processes to make it easier, fairer, and simpler for everyone involved. Our procurement teams work on behalf of our customers to help them find the technological solution that is best fit to meet their business needs. We manage their entire supplier sourcing and procurement process, from inviting suppliers to apply, to shortlisting submissions, to managing the implementation.
By removing all the noise in these otherwise complicated processes, we communicate to you our customers strategic objectives and business requirements, articulated clearly in language you will understand. Our unique process helps you better comprehend our customers’ requirements and expectations, so you can tailor the right service offerings to meet their needs.
The Tango advantage
Simple, Fast, Fair
We streamline procurement with a simplified, transparent process that makes it easier for our customers and for suppliers.
Level Playing Field
We don’t play favourites, so you have as much chance as any other potential suppliers in the process.
Win-Win Result
We strive for a fair and reasonable outcome for both our customers and for you.
Trusted for our independence
We don’t compete with you. One of the key benefits we offer our customers, is that we are a completely independent IT consulting firm. We do not sell technology, we do not create technology, we are not aligned with any technology provider. Our sole purpose is to act as a third party, representing the interests of our customers in their technology acquisitions, from procurement and/or tendering right through to implementation and beyond.
Our customers trust us, as they know we take care of their needs and deliver the right technological solution to help mitigate risk, solve problems and achieve their business strategy. You can trust us, too!
Bridging The Gap Between Suppliers and Customers
If you are chosen as a preferred supplier through the supplier selection process, Tango will work with you to manage the implementation of your solution for our shared customer. We enable three way collaboration between you, us and the customer. Tango works to manage customer expectations, while ensuring your technology solution achieves its intended purpose – no nasty surprises at either end. We stay involved throughout the process to keep the work in scope and check that the outcomes are as agreed.
The Request for Proposal
As a supplier, you will be invited to respond to a Request for Proposal (RFP) outlining your solution and how it can address our customers’ needs.
Throughout the evaluation process you will be kept informed about all the activities, timelines and decision making. Your questions and clarifications will be responded to in a respectful and supportive manner and at the end of the process you will be provided with constructive feedback on your response.
We handle the entire process for our customers, including contract negotiation, implementation, and change management. Everything is above board, with a level playing field for all suppliers. Simple. Fair. Transparent. Everybody wins.
Tango Procure: Our Online platform
Our unique, fully automated online platform, Tango Procure, provides a simple, streamlined method for responding to an RFP. Gone are the days of complicated paperwork or convoluted expressions of interest. Just log in, provide your response, and wait to hear from us. Job done.

“We’ve been working with Tango IT and are impressed with their high level of professionalism, communication, and reliability. Not only do Mark, Ian and their team have expert knowledge of information technology as a whole, they display this same level of knowledge within the space we’re working in too, which is crucial.”
Nita Jane - Acting CFO for the City of Greater Geraldton
“Over the past two years, Tango IT have been a wonderful support throughout a very complex initiative. Whilst we’ve dealt with IT providers and developers directly in the past, this was our first time working with a specialised IT consultant, and I can confidently say that having an intermediary has been invaluable.”
Jill Rundle - CEO of West Australian Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies (WANADA)
“When it came to sourcing an appropriate ERP inventory system, we communicated with multiple product vendors only to find they were focussed on trying to sell their own products. There was no time or consideration taken to find out what we do and what we need for our business. Our experience with Tango IT couldn’t have been more different – and for the better”
Ian Bellinge - Managing Director of Elan Energy Matrix Pty Ltd
The roll out of Pharos across Cyrenian House has been successful.

“Right from the initial meeting, Tango IT were very accommodating, amicable, and efficient. Their approach was extremely professional and, when it came to presenting their recommendations, it was clear very thorough research had been undertaken. I’m very happy with the Tango IT service and look forward to continuing a great working relationship. I recommend them to any organisation.”
