The contract is worth EUR 1.8 million, VAT included, and has been attributed for four years. The contract was initially estimated at EUR 2.4 million, according to the auction notice, reports local Profit.ro.

The joint venture of Telekom Romania Mobile Communications and Nextgen Communications also took part in the bidding. Orange Romania had several subcontractors, including Radcom, UPC Romania, Prime Telecom, Net Team, Fiber Net, and Ericsson Telecommunications Romania.
