Computerland about to close contract with tax offices

Computerland (CL), a Warsaw-based leading IT integrator, is only a step away from signing a zł. 37 million contract with the Finance Ministry to supply tax offices with IT equipment. Negotiations have been in progress since Apr il, as the tender was questioned by other companies taking part, and its le gality was investigated by the Office for Public Procurement (UZP) and the court. According to unofficial information, the Ministry has decided to bri ng the issue to an end and sign the contract with CL. Initially CL had lost the tender to Talex which offered zł. 300,000 less for the equipment, howev er UZP questioned the legality of the offer. This is good news for CL after having failed to win major contracts, this one seems like a chance of recov ery for the integrator which showed very weak financial results in the first half of 2003.
