Traffic jam puts HP out of the race for PSE's GIS tender

Although the market value of the system is estimated at between zł.40-50 million, PSE is only willing to pay a maximum of zł.30 million. The largest domestic IT integrators, including Prokom, Computerland, Emax, Ster-Projekt and Comarch, are all battling for the contract. "It is a valuable project. Moreover, companies believe that implementing GIS will create opportunities to win similar tenders," said one of the bidders. One of the world's largest IT companies, HP, failed to submit its offer in time. According to sources, HP had sent its bid together with Intergraph, but the courier got stuck in traffic, like three other couriers. "The late offers were not accepted, these are the regulations," said a person close to the tender. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) A.K.
