Public and private sector ICT service outfit Stone Group has been selected by HP as one of three resellers on the National Desktop and Notebook Agreement (NDNA) framework for higher education (HE), across all three available lots.
Stone can now provide HP branded hardware across the framework, including:
Lot 1: HP desktops

Combining Stone’s sector expertise and our unparalleled support and service with a comprehensive range of innovative and modern HP devices that has never been stronger, provides a compelling offering that will help institutions unlock learning and research experiences that students, faculties and staff will love.”

HP is committed to furthering cutting-edge technology in Education and helping institutions improve learning outcomes and operational efficiency, helping create secure and vibrant Campuses of the Future”
This offering is available immediately and will run until August 2020 with the option for the framework to be extended for a further year.
