KUWAIT: The technical committee entrusted with supervising the Jaber Bridge project at the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) prepared its responses to remarks made by the Audit Bureau, reported Al-Watan. The responses regard the Audit Bureau's comments on the competence of a certain contractor.
On this regard official sources said that the Audit Bureau met with the MPW's technical committee to discuss several points including procedures to grant the tender to a certain contractor.
The sources also noted that due to altering the specifications of the project after the quotation had been done, it was a violation of tendering laws followed by the Central Tender Committee (CTC).
The law states that tender details cannot be altered after disclosing all offers. "The best option in this case will be cancelling the whole tender, having a new integrated comprehensive design and then offering the project for bidding all over again," said the sources.
