PRAGUE—Huawei and ZTE will be left out of more state tenders after the tax authority excluded them, the head of the Czech cyber watchdog, which issued a recent security warning about the Chinese technology firms, said on Feb. 5.

The tax office became the first Czech authority to prevent the Chinese groups from taking part in a tender following the cyber watchdog’s (NUKIB) warning in December.
