Netbooks and tablet personal computers (classic fully functional “convertible notebook” computers, mainly x86 based, touch screen but stylus driven) are treated as a variation to category NB1 on the CUA and buyers must therefore seek Finance’s approval to purchase via the variation process. New tablet and hybrid computer devices (normally finger driven, multi-touch capacitive touch screens, mobile devices and do not use a traditional desktop OS) including iPads are specifically out of scope of the CUA and may be purchased in line with State Supply Commission policies, including open and effective competition.

Peripheral Items (Computer Accessories)

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.
