Philippines: COMELEC: ONLY SMARTMATIC MEETS REQUIREMENTS IN AUTOMATION

COMELEC: ONLY SMARTMATIC MEETS REQUIREMENTS IN AUTOMATION:

The consortium of Smartmatic and Total Information Management Corp. is so far the only bidder that has met the requirements set by the Commission on Elections-Special Bids and Awards Committee (Comelec-SBAC) for the P11.3-billion automation contract.

The Comelec-SBAC named the consortium as the bidder “with the single complying calculated bid.”

But in Omnibus SBAC Resolution No. 09-002, the committee said the decision is “without prejudice to the motion that AMA Group of Companies and Election System and Software will file.”
