Singapore plans $1.73b Info-Tech
Investments this financial year
The Singapore government says it plans to spend $1.73 billion on
information technology projects in the current fiscal year ending
March 31, 2010.
The Infocomm Development Authority says nearly 400 projects will
be put up for tender by the government during the year.
Forty per cent of these tenders will be worth more than $500,000
each.
They include a "BorderWatch System" by the Home Affairs
Ministry, and the Education Ministry's plan to build a standard
infocomm environment for all schools.
The annual briefing provides infocomm businesses with an early
indication of government procurement plans, which allows them to
better respond to government tenders.
Last financial year, the government awarded a total of $1.6
billion worth of infocomm projects.
