OFEK wins first round of Education Ministry PC tender

Yesterday the Education Ministry (MENiS) announced the results of the first phase of a tender to supply PC equipment for schools. Of the ten bids submitted, the Ministry chose that of the Polish Computer Education Fund (OFEK). OFEK will provide schools with Adax computers, a brand produced by JTT Computer, for less than zl. 7 million - much below the Ministry's expectations. The above tender concerns schools from so-called region I, which consists of the following voivodships: Dolnoslaskie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lubuskie, Wielkopolskie and Zachodniopomorskie. In 2003, MENiS plans to equip 360 computer rooms with 7,000 terminals, with the project to be undertaken in three stages. The total sum to be spent on the investment is estimated at zl. 21 million.
