(2) - (7) As indicated in the "Basket of Goods Benchmark Comparison" included in the 2005-06 Procurement Reform Benefits Realisation Report, the 2002 prices given were "average sector prices" and were derived from a benchmarking exercise undertaken by consultancy firm, IBM Business Consulting Services for the Functional Review Taskforce. Such details are not readily available for most subsequent years and information such as the number of toner cartridges purchased by all agencies is not available. The Department of Treasury and Finance is now collecting aggregated spend information for commodities covered by most common use arrangements (CUAs) from supplier sales reports, and has a project in train to progressively improve whole of Government reporting. However for past years this information is not available. The State Supply Commission's "Who Buys What" report provides agency specific and aggregate spend information for a wide range of spend activities, but not at the individual commodity level the Member is seeking. (8) The 2002 report reads - "One ream A4 80 gsm paper, eg. Reflex". Of the surveyed agencies, the average price was $6.29 (CPI adjusted) and would have covered a range of paper brands. (9) In 2002, there were a wide range of different purchasing arrangements used by agencies. Some agencies had their own contracts, some used one of the ten suppliers on the non mandatory CUA panel and others purchased directly from retail outlets. (10) Fuji Xerox - Performer +. (11) Fuji Xerox. (12) The 2002 report read - "Toner Cartridge HP 4M Hewlett Packard Original". (13) The $42.50 quoted was for the best price available in 2006 for an equivalent HP toner cartridge under the current CUA (HP44). (14) Genuine HP: (a) N/A. (15) Unknown. (16) Unknown. (17) There are five suppliers of laptops available under the CUA - Acer Computer Australia Pty Ltd, Hewlett-Packard Australia Pty Ltd, IBM Australia Ltd, Ipex ITG Pty Ltd and Toshiba (Australia) Pty Ltd. As indicated in the "Basket of Goods Benchmark Comparison" included in the 2005-06 Procurement Reform Benefits Realisation Report, the price of a laptop in 2006 was for "the same or equivalent item" to the IBM T20 laptop Pentium III referred to back in the 2002 benchmark survey. Obviously, the 2006 "equivalent" has far greater functionality and capacity than the 2002 Pentium III laptop.
