The bidding of two long range
patrol aircraft by the DND with P5.98 billion worth has failed due to the lack of
requirements by the bidders set by Philippine Defense Department Bidding committee.
SBAC-1 (Special Bids and Awards
Committee) declared failed bidding after inspecting bid documents for 12 hours
in Camp Aguinaldo.
A total of 7 companies have
submitted offers on the project, which seek to augment Philippine maritime
awareness.
Out of the seven company bidders,
Elbit Systems Ltd. And Elta Systems Ltd. have met the requirements, others have
failed due to deficiencies in its eligibility documents, this includes the presentation
of completed contracts similar to long range patrol projects from other
countries.
Elbit and Elta failed to hurdle
the next stage of the bidding procedure, this involves technical aspects of the
offered aircrafts.
“Both bidders did not include in their scheme
on fast-moving items and consumables in its list of deliverables,”
Undersecretary Manalo the SBAC-1 chairman told reporters.
Disqualified firms have 3 days to
ask SBAC-1 to reassess its decision stating them ineligible to bid o the
project.
