Defence Secret cloud race narrows as Accenture deal hits $50m


Accenture has landed another a $14.7 million contract for work on Defence’s enterprise cloud services capability, while the department continues talks with shortlisted hyperscalers Google and Oracle on a secret-level cloud solution.

The Department of Defence amended its “cloud capability” contract with the consulting giant earlier this month, bringing the value of the deal to just under $50 million over what is now a 25-month period.

It is the second time the department has amended the contract since it was first signed for $13.7 million in February 2023. At that time, the cloud capability was to be delivered over 13 months.
