Court kills BPC tender challenge on a technicality

This comes after the High Court found that the companies behind the case had failed to establish their legal standing to sue. Justice Onkagetse Pusoentsi dismissed the application by Energy Integrated Tech-Solutions (Pty) Ltd, Energy Integrated Tech-Solutions (Pty) Ltd, and Zhejiang Yongtailong Electric Joint Venture, with costs to the first and second respondents.

The judgment, delivered in Gaborone recently, effectively ended the challenge before the court could determine whether BPC had unlawfully opened the tender to international bidders.
