The IT Hardware category has been defined as comprising of desktop PCs, laptops and monitors and their associated services, for example imaging, installation to desk and asset tagging. These are items where there are opportunities for standardisation and which benefit from collaborative procurement efforts. At this time, network and communications hardware are not included. Multi-function printers or MFDs can be found in the Office Equipment Portfolio.
