Second round of PZU Raport tender begins

Insurer PZU has finalized the first phase of the tender for the implementation of Raport, a computer system to help the police report on road traffic accidents to PZU. Out of the initial eight companies taking part in the bid, the insurance company short-listed three: Warsaw's Softbank and Ster-Projekt, as well as Poznań-based Emax. The final decision on who has won the contract worth at least zł. 24 million will be taken in mid December. "Now the three companies have to present their offers within the limits of the funds devoted for this investment," said PZU spokesman Tomasz Fill. Two of the recently most probable winners of this tender, Comarch and Computerland, were rejected in the first round. The Raport system is an initiative to equip the police with mobile computers with which they will register all events at the scene of an accident. This will prevent fraud and speed up settling insurance claims. (Puls Biznesu, p. 11) A.K.
