The NSW government has made changes to its ICT hardware procurement panel, including an extension and reclassification of the products that government departments can buy.
The panel was established in 2013 to encompass the entire state government’s end-user hardware purchasing under one scheme.
The 888 panel has been extended for another 12 months, and will now expire on 30 April 2017.
It has also been updated to reflect the changes to device categories. Suppliers can now sell desktop PCs, standard notebooks, lightweight notebooks, hybrid devices and monitors under their own categories.
The previous arrangement included PCs, laptops, monitors, tablets, thin and zero clients, and workstations. The panel also includes associated services such as delivery, buffer stock, image and application loading, asset tagging, installation, support and disposal.
As-a-service arrangements are procured under the government’s ICT services scheme.
The approved supplier’s panel includes Acer, Dell, HP PPS, Lenovo, Pioneer and Samsung. The update will not affect any supplier relationships.
Suppliers have already used two options to extend the panel for 12 months, with one more extension option remaining.
