Computerland wins BPH's outsourcing tender

The details of the deal have not been made public yet. However, according to a Puls Biznesu source it is estimated to be worth zł.20 million and will last for five years. The tender proved to be an immense success for CL as the company beat rivals such as Siemens, Ster-Projekt, Softbank and CSS. Perhaps just as important is that the victory may pave the way to more contracts from BPH and other banks seeking to outsource their IT departments. This was not BPH's first outsourcing tender, as back as in 2004 the bank opened a previous tender, but annulled it claiming that outsourcing would not financially pay. Since then, the company has shifted its policy and is looking to outsource further parts of their IT department and possible to even outsource the whole department. BPH's annual IT expenses total zł.240 million and now doubt CL is looking to get a larger slice of this cake. (Puls Biznesu pp. 1, 6) M.G.
