Sydney, Australia, July 17, 2020 - The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has extended its megadeal with telco Optus for managed network services for 18 more months. Australia’s revenue agency extended the decade-long deal as it continues to look for other telcos to create a new multi-sourcing arrangement.
The deal with Optus has been extended till 30th December 2021
ATO’s 10-year deal with Australia-based Optus covered data and voice carriage, telephone, local and wide-area networks along with contact centre infrastructure. The contract was supposed to expire on 30th June 2020 to pave way for 6 new managed network service bundles. The procurement is still incomplete, therefore the Optus contract has been extended for another 18 months in addition to supporting a successful seamless transition to a new supplier.
A spokesperson told iTnews that the extension comprises of 2 work orders, only 1 of which is extended for 18 months: BAU services. BAU services took up the majority of the contract. The second work order is for the renewal of managed network services (MNS) software licenses and maintenance for 36 months.
