5. Strategic Insight for Bidders
-
For UVSS (Re-bid): This is a re-bid, which usually suggests the bank wasn’t satisfied with previous technical specs or price. Ensure your technical proposal highlights the Scanning Speed and Image Resolution (crucial for bank security).
-
For IBM Licenses: These are proprietary. You likely need to be an authorized IBM Partner to provide the correct “Port-on-Demand” activation codes.
-
For LAN Works: This covers “Upcountry” branches. Your financial bid must account for the logistics and travel costs of moving teams to rural areas.
