IBM, HP and Sun-Wipro are in race for the Rs 250-crore income tax department tender for supply of servers for its proposed national data centre.

The department is now carrying out technical evaluation of the bids submitted by these companies. The income tax department had floated the tender for supply of servers in September. These servers would form the backbone of the proposed centralised data processing system for the department. At present, the department has 36 processing stations with each having a separate server for storage of the data.
