Orange, Vodafone, Telekom si Digi Mobil they are currently fighting for at least two government contracts, telecom operators entering two ongoing tenders. We are talking about a contract with the army that is worth 20 million lei, plus one with Hidroelectrica worth about 11 million lei, both of which will last for several years for Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil are the main mobile phone operators in Romania, so their involvement in such contracts is quite normal. In the case of the first contract, with the Romanian Army, Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil should provide the institution with VPN services and services for the rental of analog lines for various institutions.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil participate together in the tender for VPN services, both companies through subcontractors for these services. Telekom and Digi Mobil will participate together only in the auction for the rental of analog telecommunications lines, both in their own name, while Orange and Vodafone decided not to participate in this auction.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil - the fight over contracts with the state
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil will participate together in the contract for the services requested by Hidroelectrica, and here they will all do so in their own name. Apart from Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil, the National Radiocommunication Society will also participate in the auction organized by Hidroelectrica, so there is greater competition for contracts.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil are bidding to provide fixed telephony services, internet, mobile telephony and maintenance of communication equipment and video calls. In the case of this contract, for which Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil are bidding, the amount is approximately 12 million euros, with a period of 4 years, all amounts being without VAT.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil are caught in an extremely intense battle to win new subscribers, and only the operator from RCS & RDS was very successful. Now Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil are also fighting intensely for government contracts, but those from Telekom have the best chances, especially since they also have the best infrastructure for such a thing.
Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi Mobil together have revenues of over 3 billion euros annually in Romania, so these contracts with the state represent only a diversification of the customer base, not something necessarily necessary for the company.
