Bidding for computer-tablet procurement to reopen Thursday

A FRESH E-AUCTION process for Zones 1 and 2 of the government's One Tablet Per Child project will start Thursday to select new suppliers, replacing a Chinese firm that has ended its contract with Thai authorities.

This academic year, not a single student has received a tablet computer from the government because of procurement problems.
Shenzhen Yitoa Intelligent Control, which initially won the e-auction in Zones 1 and 2, has failed to make any deliveries and initiated termination of its contract.
Bidding documents for the fresh e-auction will be sold from Thursday onward.
