THE Landless People’s Movement (LPM) on Friday called on the Central Procurement Board of Namibia (CPBN) to set aside its decision to award a multibillion-dollar medical suply tender and restart the entire tender process.
This comes after public pressure to cancel the tender.
The CPBN on Friday issued a statement addressing various issues leading to the public outcry.
“We are committed to delivering on our man-date within the prescripts of the Public Procurement Act,” the statement reads.
Over 20 bidders submitted requests for reconsideration last week.
The CPBN says it is in the process of reconsidering applications based on merit.
“Any bidder who is aggrieved after the board has made a final decision may approach the review panel for a review of the procurement process . . ,” the statement reads.
The CPBN says media reports stating Amnics Trading (Pty) Ltd, which has been awarded tenders while the
company is less than two years old, is incorrect.
“The documentation in the CPBN’s possession indicates that the company in question was first registered as a CC in 2012, before it con-verted to a Pty on 23 September 2021,” it says.
Amnics is owned by businessman Shapwa Kanyama, who stands the chance of being awarded a tender worth over N$280 million.
