NSW IT boon

The article says the NSW government hardware tender reported by IT Pro will provide the public service with $93 million worth of end-user equipment, according to a statement issued on Monday.

The tender is reported to be worth $93 million for end-user equipment for the NSW public service.

The article lists desktops, laptops and tablets as the types of end-user equipment included in the tender.

Minister for Finance Greg Pearce commented, saying that suppliers previously 'locked out' by red tape would be included in the tender process.

According to the statement quoted in the article, 'locked out' refers to suppliers who had previously been excluded from participation due to bureaucratic or administrative barriers; the minister said those suppliers would now be included.

No — the article does not name specific suppliers or companies; it only states that previously excluded suppliers will be included, without listing winners or named vendors.

The piece notes the tender was reported earlier this month by IT Pro and that a government statement confirming details was issued on Monday.

The article references reporting by IT Pro earlier this month and a subsequent government statement (noted as released on Monday) as the sources of the information.
