ASI scores major win in South Australia

ASI has significantly increased its presence in South Australia, with selection to the state’s Personal Computing and Server Equipment (PCSE) panel.

The panel is the mechanism by which a broad range of South Australian departments and agencies purchase desktops, laptops, general purpose servers and accompanying services. The panel was first established in 2012, and was refreshed for a five-year term starting in 2021. There is also an optional extension for a further four years. Total value of the contract is put at $180 million, with the additional term adding a further $159 million.

ASI was selected on the basis of a response that highlighted its track record with Government contracts in other states; its ability to supply equipment from a range of leading vendors; its full lifecycle services; its strong network of agents; its proven and efficient processes and its skilled in-house team.

ASI also had to showcase its social and environmental credentials, which are now a crucial element in winning any government business in Australia.

ASI’s response included equipment from vendors Microsoft, Lenovo, ASUS, Dell, HP, Apple and Nutanix.
