OPTUS WINS $29 MILLION CONTRACT WITH DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FORESTRY

DAFF awards Optus four year managed services agreement

Optus has today announced it has won the Internet-based network connection (IBNC) tranche of the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s (DAFF) approach-to-market (ATM) for outsourced telecommunications services.

Optus was successful in securing all components of the ATM at a total value of $29 million over an initial four year period.

DAFF’s new arrangement has consolidated services into one comprehensive supply arrangement. These services were previously obtained from five main contracts and other service providers.

John Paitaridis, Managing Director, Optus Business, said, “We are delighted to have secured this agreement with DAFF, and we consider it a testament to our managed services capability and portfolio, as well as a ringing endorsement of the strength of our ICT offerings.”
