The Czech anti-corruption police have accused three people, one of whom is
reportedly an employee of the Ministry of Education of seeking to
manipulate a 20 million crown tender at the ministry. The tender, which
has
since been halted, is for the installation of a new scientific and
research
information system. According to police, the trio sought to influence the
process in order that the current provider of a system called eProjekty,
currently paid via a multi-million crown contract, was awarded the new
tender too. According to Czech Radio’s Radiožurnál, which first broke
the story, the Ministry of Education is standing by the unnamed employee,
stating that she could not have singularly influenced such a tender by
herself.
