Softbank makes stunning offer for CEPiK tender

IT company Softbank has offered to implement the Central Bureau of Vehicles and Drivers (CEPiK) computer register for just zł. 188 million - well below the expectations and zł. 50 million below any of its competitors in the tender organized by the Interior ministry. "Softbank has probably not read the terms. This price is to low," said an anonymous source close to the tender. However, the competition will not be won on price alone, as this constitutes only 55% of the overall evaluation of an offer. While Softbank is claiming the quality of its proposed system, its producer, South African Face Technologies, has no track record in Poland or Europe. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,6) M.K.
