Three Suppliers Permanently Banned From Participating In Public Procurement

By Mark Ziligone

The Zambia Public Procurement Authority -ZPPA- has permanently barred three suppliers from participating in public procurement.

ZPPA Director General IDAH CHELLA says Greenside Investment Limited, FMC Farms Limited and Simuliya Trading Company have been barred for colluding and conniving in the submission of quotations in a tender by the Ministry of Health.

Mrs. CHELLA says the tender in question relates to the procurement of facemasks and re-usable surgical scrubs to support the response towards the Covid-19 outbreak.

The ZPPA Director General disclosed this during the third quarter media briefing in Lusaka today.

Mrs. CHELLA also disclosed that the Authority has suspended six suppliers from participating in public procurement for a period of one year.

This is because they submitted false insurance bid bonds in the tender for the construction of various projects in Kaputa District under the 2021 Constituency Development Funds -CDF-.

She named the affected suppliers as Writingtone Contractors Limited, Benarm General Dealers, Kejora Contractors Limited and Chisonto Distributors.

Others are Vinaka General Dealers and Contractors and Sichisi General Dealers Limited.
