(a) The tenders at the Rural Electrification Authority, like any other public sector organization, are awarded in accordance with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005, and the Public Procurement and Disposal Regulations, 2006. Section 64 of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005, clearly stipulates that successful tender should be the tender with the lowest technically evaluated price. Tenders for electricity poles fall which the threshold of the international open tenders. These are usually advertised in the newspapers with a wide circulation to ensure a wider reach. The time for preparation for such tenders is set at a minimum of 28 days upon which the tenders are closed. The bids are then evaluated for technical compliance and the price is done by an evaluation committee appointed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after which the evaluation report is then presented to the tender committee for consideration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on completion of the tender adjudication by the tender committee, the successful bidders are notified of the award while at the same time the unsuccessful ones are notified. (b) In 2008/2009 Financial Year, Rural Electrification Authority floated three tenders for the purchase of electricity poles. The first tender that was advertised around August, 2008, was awarded to the lowest evaluated bidders in accordance with Section 66 of the Act. The other two tenders were procured directly within Section 74 (2) and (3)"
