Acer to supply product range and service under multi-year Common Use Arrangement Contract
Editor’s Summary
• Acer wins a prestigious seat on WA whole of government procurement panel for computing and mobile devices.
• Acer to offer its full range of business grade desktops, tablets, hybrids and all-in-ones, as well as its consumer range together with Chromebooks.
• The win recognises 25 year track record supplying exceptional value for money and the highest quality systems as a preferred supplier to Western Australian government and education markets.
Acer announces the Western Australian Department of Finance has awarded it membership of the new Common Use Arrangement Contract for Computing and Mobile Devices.
With the makeup of the panel now near finalisation, the Common Use Arrangement (CUA) will provide an efficient and centralised procurement framework to assist WA agencies to cost-effectively acquire their computing and mobile device needs.
Acer has submitted its full range of business grade desktops, tablets, hybrids and all-in-ones, and as well as its consumer range together with Chromebooks, delivering the benefits of a single platform from a single vendor to all WA agencies, large or small. As the prime contractor, Acer has pre-selected a group with specialist public sector expertise from its State-wide network of established resellers to undertake the direct customer relationships.
The CUA covers all agencies in the State and is mandatory for government agencies in the Perth metropolitan area. The Arrangement, worth many millions of dollars to industry, is for an initial contract period of two years, with three twelve-month extension options.
With a proven track record in the government and education sectors across all Australian state jurisdictions, Acer is also signed to the Federal All of Government panel.
“Acer is proud be to awarded a position on the latest CUA and will be building on our 25 year record of supplying exceptional value for money and the highest quality systems as a preferred supplier to the Western Australian government and education markets,” said Rod Bassi, Sales Director, Acer Computer Oceanic Region. “Our inclusion on the panel will enable both small and large agencies to leverage Acer’s strength of a combined single supply and service operation.”
