Dell win major contract in Northern Ireland
Dell has announced that it has been appointed by Amey for a ten-year period, as the computer hardware supplier for the People's Network - one of the most ambitious province-wide
e-government technology projects ever implemented in Northern Ireland.
The contract, valued in the region of £7m (€10.9m), will involve the provision of Dell's desktops, notebooks and servers along with associated peripherals and accessories, which will be deployed at the five Northern Ireland Education and Library Boards. Dell was awarded the contract on the basis of its business value proposition and its ability to custom manufacture the equipment to specific requirements.
The Dell win is part of an overall multi-million pound contract awarded to Amey by the Education and Library Boards. Under the terms of the contract, Amey will provide a wide range of services including the provision and support of a new province-wide communications infrastructure, and common library management system software.
Amey plc is one of the UK's leading business support services specialists.
