[kictanet] School laptop tender cancelled

News flash http://standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000106658&story_title=sh24-6b-school-laptop-tender-awarded-to-indian-firm-canclelled How could they award a LARGE contract like this without doing due diligence? I can't imagine that they had not reviewed the company financials thoroughly. It seems like the only selection criteria used was on cost basis. Even with these new developments, I still find it troubling that the review board directed the tendering process to undertake fresh re-tendering and start from the Best And Final Offer (Bafo) stage. This project needs to be scrapped all together...or redefine the objectives and approach.
