Tepui admitted not having requisite experience but ended up with $865m pump station project

In the wake of its investigation of  the awarding of a pump station project to Tepui Inc which did not have the requisite experience, the PPC has recommended that evaluators stick rigidly with the evaluation criteria for tenders.

In its summary of findings issued on Tuesday, six months after a complaint by MP David Patterson, the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) recommended that “Evaluators must strictly abide with the express terms of the Evaluation Criteria for the tender being evaluated”. The PPC pointed out that the previous commission had said the Evaluation Committee should not consider evaluation criteria not outlined in the tender documents.

The PPC,  chaired by attorney Pauline Chase, said that an Evaluation Committee “does not possess the authority, discretion or jurisdiction to vary or (waive)  Evaluation Criteria unless expressly provided for in the tender documents”.
