The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has opened a tender to seek mainframe technical specialists to provide support to its mainframe developer base.
Candidates must have an “extremely high level of experience and expertise with both mainframe and the ATO’s implementation of the supporting set of products”, according to the tender documents.
A 12-month contract – with one 12-month extension option – is on offer with chosen personnel required to start on July 1.
The mainframe technical specialists will work within the ATO’s Enterprise Applications team and must have experience with at least the following mainframe technologies: MVS/CICS, ISPF, TSO, Advantage/Gen, TELON, SCLM, COBOL, DB2, REXX, JCL and MQ Series.
The tender closes June 23 at 2pm with evaluation of bids to be completed by June 26.
The tender invitation follows on from news last week the ATO was looking for system testers to prod and poke its ICT infrastructure in its multi-agency initiative aimed at simplifying business-to-government reporting, the Standard Business Reporting (SBR) program.

Lol what a joke. On top of the single biggest IT nightmare the ATO has had to deal with (release 3 ICP change program) some bright spark decides to throw in the useless SBR. SBR still hinges on getting all your data correct valid and accurate BEFORE you do your happy happy mouse clicking!! Therein lies the fatal flaw of SBR. Its based on the assumption your data is correct. It takes 5 minutes to do a BAS but can take 5 days to ensure all the data is correct. So what problem is SBR actually solving? I know they are creating a big one. The ICP project must get finished. ATO IT systems are a joke and our tax system has zero integrity. Now all the small business Moms and Pops will be happily clicking away lodging all their crap at the click of mouse button and the ATO will be drowing in sh&t. Well done Govt geniuses!
