The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has written to the national tender board and the NDIA requesting a range of information on the controversial award of the $865m Belle Vue pump station contract to the Tepui Group which was not eligible as it has not completed similar projects.
Source say that letters dated October 6th were sent by the PPC to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA). Both were given five days to respond to the request for information.
Sources say that the PPC asked for information that led to the award to Tepui, noting a request for an investigation had been made by APNU+AFC Member of Parliament David Patterson.
