The Ministry of Justice has decided on its shortlists for two infrastructure projects, which could be worth as much as $500 million over seven years, industry sources suggest.
Gen-i and Datacom are understood to be the final candidates for the IT infrastructure outsourcing part of the projects. Significantly, they are both New Zealand-owned companies. Multinationals such as Unisys, the incumbent desktop services supplier, IBM, which sought to partner with Telstra, and EDS have all missed out.
Telecom and Telstra are short-listed for telecommunications, which will include data and mobility.
The plans include developing infrastructure for the court system, which was merged into an expanded ministry in October 2003.
