The State Contract for Microsoft Software (Contract 2310) has expired on June 20th, 2009. 
A range of alternative State Contracts are available to assist organisations with their software requirements including:
- Novell for common use software - Contract 2313
- Oracle (Contract 2600) and SAP (Contract 2601) for ERP software
- Panel of vendors for Information and Asset Management Systems - Contract 2602
Information on these contracts can be found at http://www.nswbuy.com.au/information-technology.aspx.
For any other new software acquisitions outside of State Contracts, including Microsoft licenses, NSW agencies must comply with the requirements of the General Purchase Delegations. Anticipated purchases of $250,000 or more are to be referred to the Department of Commerce.
The State Contract for Microsoft certified Large Account Resellers (LARs) is in development with a target implementation date of September 2009. This Contract will enable the purchase of Open Government licenses through a NSW Government agreement. The Department of Commerce has put together a Microsoft Licensing Advisory Team to provide advice and answer questions about potential licensing scenarios, and to identify savings opportunities for agencies.
For further information on State Contracts for software, or to engage the Department’s Microsoft Licensing Advisory Team, please call the Client Support Centre on 1800 NSW BUY (1800 679 289) or email nswbuy@commerce.nsw.gov.au.
