G-Tech signals wish to negotiate agreement with Treasury

Although Grytek, the Polish subsidiary of U.S.-based G-Tech, says it has not received official word from the Treasury Ministry on the annulment of the tender for Totalizator Sportowy's (TS) online operating system, its president Andrzej Bogucki has expressed the wish to come to a possible agreement on extending his company's current operating system license with TS, which expires in October. "We are waiting for the Ministry's next move. A compromise is essential, otherwise the state budget could incur considerable losses," Bogucki said. Industry insiders say it is unlikely that a potential winner of another tender would be in a position to implement a new system before October. (Puls Biznesu, p.8) A.Z.
