Datapac wins €8m Public Service contract
Datapac has been awarded the ICT consumables contract by the National Procurement Service.
Speaking about the awarding of the contract Brian Hayes T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works (OPW) said: “I am pleased to announce that following an EU tendering process, the National Procurement Service (NPS) of the OPW has awarded a contract to Datapac Ltd. for the supply of ICT consumables to the public sector. The contract is valued at €8 million and is available to a wide range of public sector clients including: central Government Departments and their Agencies, an Garda Síochána, the Defence Forces, all Local Authorities, the Health Service Executive, all Vocational Education Committees, as well as primary and post primary sectors and the third-level education sector”.
The NPS noted that the Datapac contract offers excellent value-for-money on a comprehensive range of ICT consumable items and further streamlines the procurement process. The NPS is actively promoting the use of online ordering, and payment methods, and has built a discounting structure into the contract to encourage clients to order and pay for items online. Significant benefits will be available to NPS clients, including administrative savings, price discounts, reduced paper output, speed and ease of transaction.

“The value of dealing with an HP Gold partner in this process can’t be underestimated.

HP and Datapac had a thorough discussion with us around our requirement - and had really done their homework - and then were able to provide us with a very highly specified test platform for us to prove the application on before we committed to purchase.” -
