Dimension Data announced as preferred supplier

Dimension Data announced as preferred supplier to deliver Shared ICT Infrastructure Services


Following a robust and open procurement process, the Chief Executives of Greater Wellington Regional Council, Porirua City Council, Upper Hutt City Council, Wellington City Council and Wellington Water, have selected Dimension Data as the preferred supplier to deliver shared ICT infrastructure services.

This is subject to contract negotiations, which are acceptable to all parties, and a decision on the final, implementation business case, which is due in mid-August 2015.

“By joining forces to share common ICT services, we’ll be able to introduce better services at a competitive price”, says Wellington City Council Acting Chief Executive and CFO, Andy Matthews.

“A shared services approach will improve our current systems and enable us to have greater ICT capability across the Wellington region, with systems that have enhanced reliability and resilience.

“We believe by working with Dimension Data we’ll be able to achieve this.

“We intend to deliver these services to around 2,600 staff across the five organisations. It’s an important change that will better support us all in the future.”

“Dimension Data is delighted to be selected as the preferred supplier for shared ICT infrastructure services for these pivotal Wellington region organisations,” says Jo Healey, Chief Executive, Dimension Data. “We are committed to the enablement of these shared services and to delivering dependable and efficient services to underpin continued economic growth for the region.”
