Audit observed that the award of this contract did not follow due process. A notification of approval as a general service consultant for the repair/rehabilitation of office building preliminary works was given to a contractor without any competitive bidding or quotations as required by law. The contract sum was speculative in nature as no amount for this contract was mentioned but was said to be dependent on the sum released for preliminary works and related services in the 2017 capital budget. Government contracts cannot be speculatively awarded without approved budget, contract sum, and bill of quantities or quotations of jobs to be done. The sum of N14,837,515.98 was eventually paid for this contract. The relevant documents to ensure that due process was followed were not made available for scrutiny. This infraction was due to the failure of the Executive Director/CEO to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Procurement Act and other relevant extant laws and REGULATIONS.
The Executive Director/CEO is required to justify the failure to follow procurement guidelines and account for the sum of N14,837,515.98 paid in respect of the contract awarded in contravention of procurement rules. Sanctions in line with FR 3106 should apply.
