Tender Details
DET is seeking vendor partners to support it in the delivery of its part of the Commonwealth Government's Digital Education Revolution and other DET initiatives. These initiatives have the objective of radically increasing the availability of information and communications technology (ICT) to secondary school students in Years 9 to 12. DET seeks to implement these programs and initiatives by:
- providing a powerful, compact learning device to each Year 9-12 public school student and each secondary teacher in NSW schools; and
- installing wireless connectivity in all NSW public schools with Year 9-12 enrolments to support the students' use of the learning devices.
Subject to continued funding from the Commonwealth Government, DET expects to acquire approximately 220,000 learning devices and to enable approximately 571 school sites with wireless connectivity over the next 4 years.
The RFP for the Connectivity and Network Access for the DET Learning Device will be issued separately.
