CoA to determine alleged Math error in P1.5B Ncojane project :: Mmegi Online

A high-stakes dispute over the treatment of Value Added Tax (VAT) in a P1.57 billion government tender is now before the Court of Appeal (CoA), with judges asked to decide whether Tawana Joint Venture was wrongly disqualified based on a flawed financial calculation.

The appeal arises from a tender involving China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and Zhong Gan Engineering & Construction Corporation (Botswana) (Pty) Ltd as appellants, G4 Civils (Pty) Ltd, Landmark Projects (Pty) Ltd, and Asphalt Botswana (Pty) Ltd collectively trading as Tawana Joint Venture together with the Accounting Officer of the Ministry of Water and Human Settlement.

At the centre of the case is Clause 3.14(ii) of the Invitation to Tender (ITT), which sets limits on the percentage of a bidder’s price allocated to Preliminaries and Generals (P&Gs).
