Eastern Europe's declining competitiveness accounts for a geographic relocation in outsourcing of office space. Nevertheless, Bulgaria is holding its own.
Bulgarian subsidiaries of Siemens and Hewlett-Packard (HP) were among the candidates to build the electronic government (e-government) infrastructure in three major Bulgarian cities, the Ministry of State Administration and Administrative Reform said on October 23, as quoted by investor.bg. Siemens IT Solutions and Services EOOD, HP Bulgaria EOOD, as well as three Bulgarian consortia - Centre for e-Government, Storma and InfoProgress were the five applicants to take part in a tender, organised by the ministry, to build and maintain the IT infrastructure of the territorial e-government centres in the capital Sofia, the Black Sea city of Varna and in Sliven, Southern Bulgaria.
Works will be reviewed by a group of judges, and winners will receive certificates and prizes.
Seven arrested, including ‘The Squirrel’ who was found in possession of 10 00 euro, Interior Ministry says. Mobile phones, computer equipment and drug paraphernalia seized.
Maximum temperatures across the country will remain mostly below zero.
The first tremor was at about 12.34am, followed by another three minutes later. Their epicentres were located between the towns of Radnevo and Topolovgrad.
