In 2009 Generation-e was selected by Queensland's Department of Education, Training and the Arts in Australia as a new panel supplier in multi-year, multi-million dollar contract. Generation-e supplies current and emerging technology and network solutions to over 1300 Schools throughout Queensland. The result of advanced technology implementation provides a significant boost to continue the upgrade of IT environments in Queensland's schools.

Generation-e’s skill in Voice and LAN Switching, coupled with its specialisation in advanced structured cabling, give the Department a "one-stop shop" enabling schools to move into the converged world with minimal cost and disruption to their teaching programs. It prepares schools to be ready themselves to take advantage of new collaboration technologies. Even the remotest of schools can collaborate and enhance their learning environment by being linked into the education community via high speed networks.

LocalBuy
Queensland
In 2008, Shortly after its launch into the Queensland market, Generation-e was successfully selected for Queensland government's LocalBuy. LocalBuy, a commercial entity wholly owned by the Local Government Association of Queensland Inc., was established in 2001 to provide comprehensive, value adding procurement services to Queensland local government.
LocalBuy’s imperative is to broker contractual arrangements aggregating the demand for goods and services to achieve better pricing and conditions, and eliminating the need for Queensland councils to establish their own supply contracts. Generation-e was a successful tenderer for the LocalBuy Information & Communication Technology Contract. The suppliers appointed to this tender had to demonstrate skills and experience in their chosen subcategories, as well as complying with public liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, history of track record with government related entities and operating capacity. Tenders were evaluated with a combination of Local Buy procurement professionals and subject matter experts from Queensland Local Government.
Generation-e is authorised to provide IT hardware, ICT network collaboration & integration, ICT infrastructure consolidation, and ICT network services. Generation-e has continued to supply Queensland councils with the benefit of its expertise in unified communications, networks, platforms & management as well as services.
