Source: Wellington Scoop - 07/05/2012

A syndicated procurement agreement for the provision of IT managed services has been developed by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

The agreement covers the provision of service aggregation, service desk support, user device support, server support, procurement services, database management and other IT services.

Datacom Systems (Wellington) Limited, Fujitsu New Zealand Limited and Gen-I are the three service providers appointed as the vendors for the agreement.

Under the new agreement, Fujitsu New Zealand will deliver IT managed services to MPI from 1st November 2012, taking over from current service provider Unisys.

The syndicated agreement is intended for agencies that already use service aggregation (multi-sourced integration) as their ICT operating model, or those that intend to progress towards this model.
