00:00The Office of Procurement Regulation, or OPR, has received an application seeking a review of EMBD's decision to award a
00:10major security services contract.
00:12According to a public notice issued by the procurement regulator, Amalgamated Security Services Limited filed the application on July 8th
00:21under Section 50 of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act.
00:27The challenge relates to EMBD's decision to award the contract for security services in its central zone comprising lands formerly
00:36owned by Kearney 1975 Limited to Swat Estate Police Company Limited.
00:42The contract took effect from July 1st.
00:45The matter has been assigned a case reference number and will now proceed through the review process established under the
00:52procurement legislation.
00:54The Office of Procurement Regulation has advised that further information on the matter is available through its website.
01:01The application marks the latest major procurement dispute before the OPR.
01:06Earlier this year, the OPR intervened in the Housing Development Corporation's proposed $3.4 billion housing program directing the HDC
01:17to suspend the award of contracts while it reviewed the procurement process.
01:21The HDC subsequently cancelled the procurement exercise and announced the projects will be retended.
