The Ministry of Education is seeking legal advice from the Attorney-General (AG) on the controversial $545.2 million juice contract for its school feeding programme, after a part of the procurement process was annulled due to an error in the evaluation of bids, Chairperson of the Public Procurement Commission Carol Corbin said yesterday.
Rudisa subsidiary Caribbean Inter-national Distributors Inc (CIDI) won the contract to supply juice for the school feeding programme, prompting a protest by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) subsidiary Topco, which had bid a lower price and previously held the contract.
