The Ministry of Health (MoH) has said contracts worth a total of almost $12 billion, including some $2.1 billion of which was single-sourced, were awarded between September and December last year but the names of the awardees are still to be released, for which it claims the procurement board is responsible.
Following questions by Sunday Stabroek, the Ministry released some information on contracts from September to Decem-ber of last year but did not give the names of the companies it awarded the contracts to. It said that disclosing the names is the responsibility of the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB). The NPTAB has not been responsive to questions from Sunday Stabroek.
