Bartronics gets approval to bid Singapore projects

Hyderabad: Bartronics Asia Pte Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyderabad-based provider of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) and radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions Bartronics India Limited, has secured the expenditure and procurement policies unit (EPPU) registration with an S10 (highest) grade from the Singapore government.

EPPU is a unit under the finance ministry of the Singapore government. The highest grading by it will enable Bartronics to bid for projects worth over S $30 million (over Rs 96 crore).

In Singapore, business entities are required to register with the EPPU to participate in the tenders floated by the public sector.

The grading would also bolster Bartronics Asia’s plans to actively pursue opportunities under the Intelligent Singapore 2015 Plan, the government's 10-year initiative for the growth of the infocomm sector. The infocomm industry is expected to contribute over S$26 billion to its GDP.
