Pioneer lands bumper government deal

White-box maker Pioneer Computers Australia has inked a local government procurement deal worth $100m over three years.

Pioneer has signed a Local Government Procurement contract for the supply of PCs, notebooks, servers and associated services and equipment. Under the contract, 152 New South Wales Councils are able to buy from Pioneer directly.

“We are thrilled to sign on as Local Government Procurement contractor. We offer the flexibility of build to order and local support” said a statement from Pioneer. “Our range of ruggedised laptops and industrial computers appeals to councils. It fits into their requirements. We offer customised solution and work together with clients on projects.”

Pioneer also said it is open to working with other vendors to provide councils with special government pricing. “There are 152 councils in New South Wales, each with a budget to spend. Opportunities are tremendous.”

Besides the contract with Local Government Procurement, Pioneer is also Commonwealth Government Endorsed Supplier, New South Wales ITS2000 government contractor and Queensland Government Approved Supplier.
