The Office of Procurement Regulation (OPR) has revealed it never ruled on allegations that the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) breached procurement law during its controversial $3.4 billion Design-Build-Finance housing programme because the legal challenge was filed outside the deadline set by law.
The written reasons, released after HDC cancelled the procurement, explain why NH International (Caribbean) Ltd’s challenge failed. However, they do not determine whether HDC complied with the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act or whether the company’s allegations were valid.
The procurement involved the proposed award of 11 Design-Build-Finance contracts, each valued at more than $100 million.
