Government organisation calling for Free Software companies

Hi,

Have you come across this tender floated by Central Silk Board - A
government organisation?

Tender Document for Enterprise Network Services Deployment and
development of Centralised MIS Software for Central Silk Board
http://indiansilk.kar.nic.in/tender/Tender.htm
Surprisingly, they have mandated the use of Free Software only. And
the tender document too looks very coherent and they knew what they
want.

Anybody on the list involved in preparing the tender? or atleast know
who's behind the same?

I surely hope this will receive the attention it deserves and
qualified people participate.

gnuingly yours,
