ÁKOS ERDŐS’ BIG BARGAIN MAY GO UP IN SMOKE

Educatio Public Utility Society has pronounced the public acquisition tender for producing new student IDs invalid.

State Printing House belonging to the sphere of interest of Ákos Erdős, former business partner of Premier Gyurcsány may lose the big commission of the government. Eucatio is owned by the Ministry of Education and probably the too short deadlines had become suspicious for the Economic Competition Bureau. The bargain was to produce 2,5 student IDs with the necessary background of informatics and producing chipcards. There was only twelve days to submit bids and only three companies turned up (Bull, T-System, and Sagem) – all the three companies had the same subcontractor: Erdős’ State Printing House.
