Procurement body invites complaints on award of gov’t contracts

Amid criticisms of it,  the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) is inviting persons aggrieved over the award of  any government contract to lodge a formal complaint so as to trigger an administrative review.

 “Dissatisfied with the rejection of your bid? Lodge a complaint for an administrative review,” a notice in the state-owned Sunday Chronicle said.

The PPC pointed out  that this country’s procurement laws provide for a review by it, should the  complainant make their dissatisfaction known though a formal process within a specified period.
