Key takeaways
- There is no official downloadable PSG vendor list. The authoritative source is the PSG Solution Directory on GoBusiness, searchable by sector, solution name, equipment or vendor.
- Pre-approval attaches to a specific solution from a specific vendor — not to a company as a whole. A vendor can be listed for one product and not for another thing they sell, so “we’re a PSG vendor” on a sales deck tells you very little.
- Being on the list is not a government endorsement. The listing states plainly that inclusion is not a recommendation and that companies should carry out their own due diligence when engaging vendors.
- Never share your Corppass with a vendor. Official guidance is explicit: do not hand over Corppass for a vendor to submit grant applications or claims on your behalf. You submit; they quote and advise.
- Apply before you pay. Retrospective applications — where payment or a deposit has already been made to the vendor — are not supported.
If you are looking for the list of PSG pre-approved vendors, the short answer is that there is no downloadable master PDF. The official list lives in the PSG Solution Directory on GoBusiness, and you search it by sector, solution name, equipment or vendor name. If a vendor and their specific solution do not appear there, that purchase cannot be funded by the Productivity Solutions Grant.
Worth knowing before you go further: appearing on that list is not a government endorsement. More on why that matters below.
What does “PSG pre-approved” actually mean?
Pre-approval attaches to a specific solution from a specific vendor — not to the company as a whole.
This distinction costs businesses real money. A vendor can be genuinely pre-approved for one product and not for another thing they sell. “We’re a PSG vendor” on a sales deck tells you almost nothing on its own; what you need is the directory entry for the exact solution you are buying.
Pre-approval means the solution has been assessed as supportable under PSG. It does not mean the government recommends that vendor over another, that the price you have been quoted is fair or benchmarked, that the solution suits your business, or that your application will automatically be approved.
How do you check a vendor on the official list?
- Open the PSG Solution Directory on GoBusiness.
- Search by sector, solution name, equipment or vendor name.
- Find the entry for the specific solution you intend to buy — not just the vendor’s company name.
- Note the solution name exactly as listed. Your quotation should match it.
- Get the quotation, then apply on the Business Grants Portal using Corppass — before you pay anything.
If you cannot find the solution, ask the vendor to point you to their directory entry. A pre-approved vendor will be able to do this immediately.
What does the government itself warn about?
This is printed on the government’s own solution listing, and it is worth reading twice:
This listing is not to be taken as a form of endorsement or recommendation by the participating government agencies. Companies are reminded to carry out due diligence when engaging vendors, and not to share the Corppass with their vendors to carry out submission of any grant application or claims.
GoBusiness, PSG Solution Directory
Two instructions sit inside that paragraph.
Do your own due diligence. Inclusion in the directory is an assessment of the solution’s supportability, not a quality rating. Reference-check, ask for customers in your trade, and compare quotes.
Never share your Corppass. Some vendors offer to “handle the paperwork” and ask for your Corppass login to submit on your behalf. Official guidance says do not. Corppass is the key to your company’s government transactions, far beyond one grant application. A vendor should give you a quotation and guidance; you submit the application and the claim yourself.
How does a vendor get pre-approved?
For IT solutions, vendors apply through the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), which assesses the solution before it can be listed as supportable.
This is why the list changes. Solutions get added, updated and removed, and listings can lapse. A screenshot or a blog post from two years ago is not evidence that something is claimable today — always check the live directory.
Is there a PSG vendor list PDF?
Not an official one. You will find PDFs and spreadsheets circulating from vendors and consultants, and they go stale quickly as listings change. Treat any downloadable list as a starting point for research, then verify every entry in the live directory before you rely on it for a purchase decision.
What should you ask a vendor before signing?
- Which exact solution name are we buying, as it appears in the PSG Solution Directory?
- Can you send me the link to your directory entry?
- Does the quotation match the listed solution scope exactly?
- What is the total cost, and what portion is expected to be supportable?
- What is not covered — setup, training, hardware, ongoing fees?
- Who submits the application and the claim? (Correct answer: we do, from our own Corppass.)
- What happens if the application is not approved — what am I committed to?
If a vendor is evasive on question 1 or question 6, slow down.
How do you compare vendors on more than grant status?
Grant support changes what a system costs. It does not change whether the system is right for you — and listings move on and off the directory, so a vendor’s status today is not a durable reason to choose them.
- Does it handle your actual workflow — table service, takeaway, delivery orders, multiple outlets?
- Do the storefront, till, stock and customer records sit on one platform, or will you reconcile two sets of numbers?
- What are the real costs after any support ends — licences, hardware, support, transaction fees?
- Who answers the phone at 7pm on a Friday when the till stops?

Frequently asked questions
Where is the official PSG pre-approved vendor list?
In the PSG Solution Directory on GoBusiness, searchable by sector, solution name, equipment or vendor. There is no official downloadable master list, and third-party PDFs go stale as listings change.
How do I know if a vendor is PSG approved?
Search the Solution Directory for the specific solution you intend to buy. Pre-approval applies to a particular solution from a particular vendor, so confirm the entry matches your quotation — not just that the company name appears somewhere on the list.
Is being on the PSG vendor list a government endorsement?
No. The listing explicitly states it is not an endorsement or recommendation by the participating government agencies, and that companies should carry out their own due diligence when engaging vendors.
Should I give my vendor my Corppass to apply for me?
No. Official guidance is not to share Corppass with vendors for submitting grant applications or claims. Corppass controls your company’s government transactions well beyond this one grant. You submit; the vendor quotes and advises.
Can I use any vendor if the solution is pre-approved elsewhere?
No. Approval is tied to the vendor and solution pairing. Buying the same underlying software from a different, unlisted reseller will not qualify for support.
Does the vendor receive the grant money?
No. You apply, you claim, and support is disbursed to your business against an approved claim. You pay the vendor directly.
The PSG Solution Directory changes as listings are added and removed. Always verify against GoBusiness before making a purchase decision.
