August 26, 2025 – Kinetic 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 new 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.
This new framework provides 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 Networking Equipment,
- Category 1B Data Centre Equipment
- Panel 3 – Managed Services
- Category 3B Managed Infrastructure
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.
Pre-approval under CUATIS2024 means WA Government agencies can turn to Kinetic IT as a trusted partner for the entire lifecycle of their infrastructure needs, and can be confident their infrastructure is delivered, integrated and supported from day one.
David Lyons, Kinetic IT’s Director of Regional Engagement WA, said the appointment reflects both the company’s long-standing delivery record and commitment to partnering with the WA State Government.
“Being selected for CUATIS2024 demonstrates Kinetic IT’s trusted relationships and proven track record with WA agencies,” Lyons 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.”
“What I enjoy most about my job is helping customers. This panel opens up new and simple pathways to do exactly that – making it easier for state government to engage with Kinetic IT and achieve impactful outcomes for Western Australians”.
As a Perth-founded and headquartered company, Kinetic IT has grown to become one of Australia’s largest independently owned IT services providers, while continuing to invest in local capability. Its appointment to CUATIS2024 places it among a select group of WA-based suppliers alongside national and multinational firms.
The appointment builds on recent wins in the State Government, including Main Roads Western Australia selecting Kinetic IT as lead partner for end-to-end technology services in April 2025, and Landgate awarding a 10-year managed services contract commencing 1 November 2024.
