Les sociétés ont offert pour des contrats de cartes d'identification

Le processus offrant pour des contrats en valeur jusqu'à £500m chacun pour courir l'arrangement de carte d'identité du R-U a été lancé.

Cinq sociétés seront choisies pour fournir le matériel informatique et pour contrôler l'application et la publication des cartes.

Le gouvernement a indiqué que c'était « une étape importante importante » en fournissant l'arrangement de £5.3bn, qui verra des cartes d'identification publiées aux résidants BRITANNIQUES en 2009.

The smallest contract will be for £50m, while two are expected to be worth up to £500m.

‘Institution’

These are thought to be some of the most expensive ever awarded by the government and will run for up to 10 years.

A host of firms, including IBM, Accenture, BT and Fujitsu services, are expected to bid for the contracts.

In June, Home Office minister Liam Byrne said the ID card scheme would become a “great British institution” on a par with the railways in the 19th century.

The government says the change is needed to fight terrorism, illegal immigration, people-smuggling and identity fraud.

But opponents, including the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, have questioned the cost and effectiveness of ID cards, and argue that they will damage civil liberties.
