Kinetic IT named pre-approved supplier to WA Government
Kinetic IT has announced it has been appointed as a pre-approved supplier to the Western Australian Government’s CUATIS2024 Technology Infrastructure and Solutions panel, giving agencies a prequalified route to market that reduces procurement complexity and accelerates delivery.
CUATIS2024 is the state government’s whole-of-government buying arrangement for technology infrastructure and solutions, replacing the expired GovNext-ICT CUA. By offering a broader choice of providers on each panel, CUATIS2024 is designed to give agencies greater flexibility and autonomy in fulfilling their ICT strategies while maintaining competitive access to reputable, secure and modern ICT solutions.
The new framework is intended to provide a clearer, more accessible pathway for agencies to engage the right partner and accelerate delivery of technology outcomes that support government priorities. The agreement runs for five years, with an option for a further two-year extension.
Under the arrangement, Kinetic IT is pre-approved for Panel 1 — Infrastructure & Facilities (category 1A and Category 1B), and for Panel 3 — Managed Services (Category 3B).
These panels cover the resale, installation and integration of networking products including routers, switches, firewalls and wireless solutions, along with the design and delivery of data centre products such as servers, storage, UPS and core infrastructure.
Panel 3 extends this capability to end-to-end managed infrastructure for on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments; all with clear scopes and a standardised ordering process.
David Lyons, Kinetic IT’s Director of Regional Engagement WA, said the appointment reflects both the company’s longstanding delivery record and commitment to partnering with the WA Government.
“Being selected for CUATIS2024 demonstrates Kinetic IT’s trusted relationships and proven track record with WA agencies,” he said. “We are local and understand local context; we can draw from our trusted relationships with local customers, and with support from our national partner network, deliver solutions that are citizen- and outcome-focused.”
