FG bars contractors with ongoing projects from fresh bids

The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has announced the Federal Government’s fresh guidelines for the award of contracts under his ministry.

Under the guidelines, contractors handling four ongoing projects are ineligible to bid for new ones until they deliver on the projects they are handling.

“Mr President just approved 60 projects and we will start the designing and the profiling, so, if you can finish your jobs quickly, you will be part of the bidding but if you can’t finish your job, you can’t bid and we won’t differentiate between expatriate and local contractors.

“We have learnt that some of you want to sabotage me to prove that concrete is not good. That is a lie, concrete is very good. “The ministry won’t process your certificate without a programme of work. Contractors that want variation of price must prove what basis led to an increase in contract quantity. Without these steps, there is no payment.
