Nine firms join KPU's IT tender

JAKARTA: Nine companies and consortium submitted on Tuesday their bids with the General Elections Commission (KPU) on a renewed tender to provide Information Technology (IT) infrastructure for next year's general elections.

The nine firms and consortium are PT Berca Hardaya Perkasa, PT Integrasi Teknologi, PT Bringin Gigantara, PT Multi Polar, PT Asaba Computer Center, PT Adhisakti Solusi Komputindo, PT Texacom Hitek System, PT Swadharma Duta Data, and PT Anabatic Teknologi.

Three companies/consortium withdrew their participation in the tender, including PT Pernadi Wiraperkasa, which qualified in the earlier bid.

KPU annulled last Thursday the previous tender, which was supposed to hear the announcement of the winners, due to technical and procedural problems.

A member of KPU IT infrastructure tender team Dalail said the next phase of the IT infrastructure tender would be to announce several winning candidates on Oct. 13. --JP
