HCL Info lowest bidder in all zones for BSNL deal

28 Oct 2009 Evaluate

IT firm HCL Infosystems will have to give up two large IT contracts jointly worth over Rs 1,700 crore after the company emerged as the lowest bidder in all the four zones for state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam’s (BSNL) $1-billion IT outsourcing contract. This is because, as per the BSNL tender norms, a single company cannot be awarded more then 50% of the total contract.

After emerging as the lowest bidder or L1 in East, West and South zones, HCL Infosystems has now become L1 for managing BSNL’s IT requirements in the northern region also. But considering the telco’s tender conditions, the IT company can be awarded only a maximum of two contracts thus implying that it can provide solutions to BSNL in only two regions. In all the four zones, HCL’s bid has been supported by HP, which will supply hardware and systems and Convergys, which will provide billing solutions.

As is the norm at BSNL, the financial bid by HCL Infosystems will be evaluated and it will go through the process of negotiations. The entire procedure will take some more time, after which the contract will be awarded.
