OFE 13th February 2012 - Poland is by far the worst offender when it comes to naming IT trademarks in calls for tender by its public sector, according to OpenForum Europe's (OFE) latest Monitoring Report on the European IT procurement market. Polish contracting authorities issued over a third of all the tenders across Europe that named IT suppliers during the final quarter of last year, the OFE Monitoring Report found. However, Poland isn't the only country picking winners. Germany and France also issued a disproportionately high number of IT tenders making specific reference to a trademark during the final three months of last year. Overall, the OFE Monitoring Report found that 16 percent of IT tenders issued in the final three months of 2011 made specific reference to a supplier's trademark.
