ZPPA Suspends private company

Paul Shalala – The Zambia Public Procurement Authority -ZPPA- has suspended a private company,  Marshall’s Electronics Limited, from bidding for government contracts for failure to discharge contractual obligations.

Marshall’s Electronics Limited, which was contracted by the Ministry of Information and Media and the Zambia News and Information and Services -ZANIS- to supply electronics, failed to supply on time despite being paid in full.

ZPPA Director General, IDAH CHELLA says Marshall’s Electronics Limited has been suspended for one year for under-performing despite having been paid 339 thousand Kwacha in full at the beginning of the contract.

Ms. CHELLA says the firm only supplied ZANIS and the Ministry of Information and Media electronic materials worth 159 thousand Kwacha which is half of the contract sum.

She has warned suppliers, who participate in public procurement, to fulfill contractual obligations to avoid loss of business or being suspended from public procurement.

Ms CHELLA said this in Lusaka during the Second Quarter Media Briefing where she announced that in the period under review, Six investigations were carried out.

She announced that among them was the investigation into the importation of wooden poles by ZESCO and non performance of contractual obligations which was cleared.
