No shortage of bids in zł.200 million IT border tender

In total 12 consortia, encompassing 50 companies, submitted their offers. These include top global corporations specializing in military projects, as well as top domestic and foreign IT sector companies. The battle is worth around zł.200 million. The Border Guard (SG), which is organizing the tender together with the Interior Ministry, is to select seven consortia to continue negotiations. "At that stage the companies will have two months to prepare their final offers. The date for their submission can be expected in May, while the signing of the contract is likely in June, or July. If there will be no protests," said a person close to the project. The domestic companies, which are running in the bid, are two consortia under the leadership of Prokom and Computerland. Prokom is cooperating with French Alcatel and Israel's Elbit. Computerland on the other hand put its hopes in Germany's Siemens and America's Opto. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) A.K.
