ARiMR computer tender challenged again

Last week, Puls Biznesu wrote that the Agency's tender specifications favored only one producer, Dell and its Optiplex SX270 Ultra Small system. The Agency explained that it was just that this computer happened to meet ARiMR's requirements. On January 13, one of the potential bidders protested against the specifications and threatened to sue the Office of Public Procurement (UZP). "Our preliminary research revealed that there are several companies which produce computers which meet our standards," said ARiMR's spokeswoman Iwona Musiał. At the same time she added laconically that domestic producers could not offer such equipment. "Dell has not influenced the Agency's specifications in any way," assured Dell's president Roman Durka.
