MDDI's response to PQ on Motivating Productivity Solution Grant Vendors to Update Pricings

Parliament Sitting on 5 February 2025

QUESTION FOR WRITTEN ANSWER

26. Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Digital Development and Information (a) what are the measures in place to ensure that the Productivity Solution Grant vendors are motivated to update the pricing of their pre-approved automation and digital solutions when there is continual lowering of the cost of such technological products in the commercial marketplace; and (b) how can businesses provide feedback to the Government on the value-for-money quality of pre-approved technology products to ensure that such grant can be best optimised.

Answer:

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) supports businesses’ adoption of pre-approved solutions under the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA)’s SMEs Go Digital programme, which aims to help businesses improve productivity and enhance their business processes.

The PSG supports a diverse range of solutions and vendors, which businesses can choose from. This variety promotes price and quality competitiveness among vendors. Businesses are encouraged to choose solutions that best suits their needs and are value for money.
