The board decisions of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) for April, May, June, July and August as seen in the procurement authority's website, do not reveal the awarding of this tender.  Yesterday the PPADB's acting public relations manager Senewang O'Reilly Konji said they could not confirm the status of the tender as the Ministerial Tender Committee was handling it.
