FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

- PERTH, AUSTRALIA (LAND FORCES 2026)

Melbourne-based program delivery and advisory SME, Hypso, has officially been appointed to the Australian Government’s Digital Marketplace Panel 2 (DMP2) under the Professional and Consulting Services module.

The panel appointment establishes a streamlined, compliant procurement pathway via BuyICT.gov.au, allowing government agencies and Defence buyers to rapidly engage Hypso under standardised Head Agreement terms.

"This is a big step for Hypso and one that makes it even easier for government clients to engage Hypso’s services directly," said Steve Kouloumendas, Managing Director of Hypso.

What This Means for Army & CASG Programs

The appointment removes procurement friction, making it simpler for Defence program managers to improve capability delivery and access 20+ years of high-value cross-functional expertise in CASG and in below-the-line delivery:

  • Direct Access: Streamlined engagement for below-the-line advisory, mentoring, and project delivery support.

  • Delivery Assurance: Proven Active Risk Management frameworks to help track tangible outcomes, prepare for customer design reviews, and keep acquisition programs on time and on budget.

  • Cross-Functional Expertise: Senior capability alignment bridging the gap between high-level strategy and ground-level program execution.

With Land Forces 2026, proving the importance of projects being delivered on time and on budget, Defence leaders can access Hypso’s specialised delivery services directly via BuyICT or by visiting www.hypso.com.au.
