Centerprise replaces Misco on higher education framework

Basingstoke-based firm takes Misco's place as Acer reseller

Centerprise has taken Misco's place as reseller of Acer products on the National Desktop and Notebook Agreement (NDNA) framework.

The £440m framework launched in 2017 and sees higher education (HE) bodies procure hardware from vendors including Dell, HP, Acer and Toshiba.

Each vendor can also appoint a number of resellers from which institutions can purchase.

Centerprise has now taken the place of Misco as an Acer reseller on the second of the framework's three lots, covering the sale of notebooks and mobile devices.

Jon Elliott, Centerprise's government director, said: "The NDNA is far and away the most popular end- user device framework in the HE space.

"Having a spot means we now have a fantastic opportunity to grow our presence in that market to exciting new levels.

"We're proud to advocate the Acer brand, and to bring our extensive value-added services and solutions to their fantastic range of reliable and high-performing hardware. We're excited to see where this partnership can take us."

Craig Booth, UK country manager at Acer, added: "NDNA is an incredibly important framework for Acer, and we are excited to begin our partnership with a company of Centerprise's pedigree.

"Centerprise has a long-standing history of partnering with manufacturers to supply into public sector frameworks, and will be a great addition to our group of reseller partners for the NDNA Framework."

Fallen Misco had also been appointed as a reseller for Fujitsu on lot 2, with an updated document showing that the vendor is yet to appoint a replacement.

The document also reveals that Insight replaced SCC as a Lenovo reseller on all three lots on 1 September 2018.
