@GG, another opportunity for the ICT Authority to take over this project. I know ministry of education feels it is their "stronghold" but I think they need help. I wish I could say "I told you so" - but unfortunately it is my 25B Ksh being played around with. Every Kenyan loses in these high-stakes type of games. walu. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 3/11/14, Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com> wrote: Subject: [kictanet] Board cancels tender awarded to Olive Technologies to supply Standard One To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2014, 7:05 PM The Public Procurement Administrative Review Board has cancelled the tender award to Indian firm Olive Technologies to supply and install laptops for Standard One Pupils. In a ruling made Wednesday afternoon, the board chaired by Josephine Mong'are reversed the tender and ordered the procurement committee to retender within 45 days. The board said its decision was informed by the fact that Olive Technologies lacked financial ability to carry out the project. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000106648&story_title=standard-one-laptops-tender-cancelled -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/jwalu%40yahoo.com The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
