The Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) has opened bids for no fewer than 40 capital projects within its 2022 financial circle year.
AMAC Council Secretary, Mr Jafaru Gwagwa, while addressing participants at the bid opening at the council’s secretariat, said the exercise was in line with the administration’s fulfilment of its electoral promises.
Gwagwa, who also doubles as the Chairman, Tenders Board Committee, added that the process was organised to ensure transparency in compliance with the Public Procurement Act of 2007.
“This exercise is also meant to identify contractors that are reputably qualified and must have long standing pedigree in contracts and effective service delivery.
“I wish to advise all contract bidders, who do not have the financial, managerial and technical capacities to have a rethink.
“Aside from other contractual terms successful bidders would have to observe, I wish to reiterate that our administration has the penchant for quality, discipline and precision.
“We will not tolerate any contractor who cannot abide by our terms, whoever succeeds, our watch word is quality, timeliness and trust,” he said.
Also speaking, Mrs Esther Ogunleye, Head of Procurement, added that the Department of Works in the area council would deploy better monitoring and evaluation techniques in all the projects.
