The government is aiming to invite bids for the next technology support provider for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in March 2024 and is mulling separate contracts for hardware and software consultancy providers to reduce dependency on a single entity, a senior government official said.
The government has appointed Ernst & Young (E&Y) as its consultant for formulation of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to invite bids for the next IT consultancy for GST. The contract with Infosys for providing technology support for GST comes to an end from September 30, 2024.
“We have started work on the request for proposal. Target is that by March we should be able to come out with it. Till now it has been a managed service provider model with Infosys, wherein the company is handling both hardware and software requirements. Now we are contemplating either to stick to the same or separate out software and hardware providers to reduce dependence on a single company,” the official told Moneycontrol.
