Contract News
Ruggedised computers are generally considered to be out of
scope of this CUA, however due to the various levels of
“ruggedised” and different forms of such computers, please
discuss your requirements with the CUA Contract Manager prior
to purchase.
Purchase of Peripheral items under CUA 25708 is now nonmandatory i.e. buyers may purchase these items through the
CUA, or alternatively purchase outside of the CUA ensuring that
they adhere to State Supply Commission policies, including open
and effective competition. Some standard Peripheral items are
incorporated in this CUA for quick and easy purchasing, however
other models are available from our qualified CUA suppliers.
Finance recommends purchasing Peripheral items from our CUA
suppliers to ensure compatibility with CUA computers. The
following items are advertised through the CUA on Contracts WA
under the Product Catalogue and Price List:
Monitors
Keyboard & Mouse combo’s
External webcams
External hard drives
USB hubs
Y cables
Docking stations
Notebook Batteries
Notebook Battery Charging Packs (AC adapters)
Security locks
Notebook Carry bags
External Bluetooth (dongle)
External speakers
Memory sticks (USB)
Blu-Ray players
Head phones
Graphics Cards
Apple Macintosh computers are out of scope of this CUA. Buyers
should procure these products through their usual procurement
processes, ensuring that they adhere to State Supply
Commission policies, including open and effective competition.
Recently, Government Procurement and the Client Reference
Group looked at what improvements could be made to the CUA
as it stands. A business case incorporating some of these
suggestions – like the need to streamline the variation process –
has just been approved. Keep an eye out for when outcomes are
reflected in a future edition of this Buyers Guide.
