The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) on December 29th rejected a complaint by Akamai Inc over a contract award, leaving the company dissatisfied and Member of Parliament David Patterson charging that there had been a whitewashing of the matter.
Yesterday, Chair of the PPC, Pauline Chase wrote Akamai Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brian Hackett in response to his August 16th letter of complaint and essentially upheld the decision of the Evaluation Committee of the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) that the company’s bid was non-responsive.
Hackett had sought a resolution to unanswered attempts to obtain from the procuring entity, the Hinterland Electrification Company Inc, (HECI) the reason for the rejection of the bid.
