The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Australian equivalent of the UK’s competition commission, has awarded Getronics an outsourcing contract worth £2 million.

Under the terms of the agreement, an initial three year contract, Getronics will provide the ACCC with desktop, server and network support as well as database administration for the watchdog’s 700 strong workforce.

The contract will be serviced by Getronics Australia staff onsite at ACCC and will commence on 1 July 2008.

Getronics Australia managing director, Paul Timmins, said: “To be providing IT support to such an eminent body will energise my team and we look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with the ACCC”.
