Chairman of the NPTAB, Tarachand Balgobind said on Wednesday that he has acknowledged the criticisms of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) in its summary of findings regarding the tender board’s timely submission of documents and is working to acquire a robust “electronic records” management system.
As in the case of the awarded $865 million contract for the pump station at Belle Vue (West Coast Demerara) to inexperienced company Tepui Group Inc. R Kissoon complained to the PPC on January 24, 2023 that its bids for the maintenance and servicing of drainage and irrigation pumps were unsuccessful even though they were the lowest for two lots and met all of the requirements. The NPTAB did not supply documents as requested or did so very late.
