Three resellers made their way onto the panel who had not been there before, according to the Tasmanian Treasury: Corporate Express, The Xerox Shop and Principal Computers.

These resellers joined the others — Alphawest, ComputerCorp, Dell, Hypertronics, Intuit Technologies, IRIS Computing, Logica Australia, NextByte, PK Business Advantage and Tops Business Technology Solutions — who had already been appointed to the panel for its last term supplying items such as servers, printers, desktops, laptops and tablets, and their accessories as well as hardware maintenance and warranty services.

They will be selling Acer, Apple, Dell, Fuji Xerox, HP, IBM, Konica, Lenovo, Lexmark, Sun and Toshiba equipment — with Asus as a new addition.

There had been some resellers dropped from the panel that had been there for its last term, but Treasury would not name them. Agencies, government businesses, statutory authorities, local government and community-based organisations can make use of the agreement.

A request for tenders document had gone out late last year requesting interested parties to put their hats into the ring. The successful vendors and resellers were published on the Treasury site at the beginning of this month.
