According to Optus, it was awarded the contract following a competitive tender which began in late 2008. "In its request for proposals, Brisbane City Council outlined that it wished to embark on a technology and business transformation which would see it move to a fully managed network services environment with improved service levels, the rationalisation of contracts and services, an enhanced service delivery model and significant cost savings," Optus said. "As we roll out our solution to Brisbane City Council we will be laying a foundation for the future electronic delivery of government services while also delivering substantial productivity benefits to the Council," John Simon, managing director, Optus Enterprise and Business, said. Brisbane is Australia's largest city council. Optus also provides similar all of council comms services to Logan council in Queensland.
