Packaging: Would be possible to have supplier collect and dispose of packaging rather than pay to have it removed?

Quotation should also include installation of hardware and configuring of software. It is the intention of the school to use open source software with Edubuntu as the main operating system for the thin client system. Included in this will be the option of a partition to accommodate a windows network solution.
We would also request that an option of a one year maintenance contract be priced in this quote. Finally we would request an overall price for the above specification and a per unit price in the event of a decision by the Board of Management to increase or decrease the number of work stations.
Should you have any advice regarding the above specifications, where you recommend an improvement in the above, then this may be priced separately based on the criteria outlined in above, this will be considered by the Board of Management of ACETNS.
