FreeSoft consortium wins open-source government tender

A consortium led by FreeSoft has won a Central Service Directorate contract to supply the government with open source software for Ft 4 billion and educational software for Ft 2 billion. Multiráció and Kventa are also members of the consortium.

FreeSoft subsidiary Humansoft also signed a framework agreement to supply the government with software, including that of Microsoft, for an additional Ft 12 billion.

The government initially excluded open-source software from public procurements but included them in the new tender after pressure from civil groups.
