Client Query 112:- Salam, wanted to discuss a scenario with your firm so that you could guide with your expert advice. Actually GEPCO opened a tender in which 4 firms participated in tender & quoted the same and uniform rates. Now due to same rates, GEPCO rejected all the bids and decided for re-tendering. So wanted to ask in this regard that whether GEPCO action is correct as per PPRA Rules? Will be looking forward to your response! Thanks!

Answer:- Thank you for writing to us. As per your query, GEPCO is required to follow Rule 33 of Public Procurement Rules, 2004. If the above rule is complied with by GEPCO then the decision of retendering is in line with Public Procurement Rules, 2004. Hope this helps in answering your query!
