Local gov't dodges tender bullet

The ministry through the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) and the ministry’s chairperson of tender committee has been battling in court with Prinsan Group over the tender that was cancelled in 2017.

Before the tender cancellation in 2017, the ministry had in 2015 invited bidders for the supply, implementation and maintenance of an electronic system, which was to be used for the distribution of food coupons for destitute persons, orphans and community home-based care beneficiaries.
