SARAJEVO CANTON HEALTH INSURANCE INSTITUTE: Maintenance of a Software System Worth 50 KM Costs 10,000 KM!
The Sarajevo Canton Health Insurance Institute procured a software system for the symbolic price of 50 KM. This would not raise concerns if, a year and a half later, a maintenance contract for the system had not been signed, amounting to 10,000 KM. The sole bidder in this tender was the same company that sold the software system for 50 KM. Similar examples highlight that, when it comes to IT tenders in Bosnia and Herzegovina, active and fair competition often does not exist. Experts warn of multiple aspects of potential corrupt misuse in such practices.
