Delays caused by the probity process, while acknowledged, are necessary to ensure no irregularities in procurement and tender awards.
“I still deem these delays are necessary to at least ensure that there are no irregularities”
The probity process caused delays after the BEC process concluded on 11 April 2025 before finalising the report for submission.
“there was a considerable amount of time that was allocated from the 4th of April ... probity reports submitted to the Accounting Officer”
The replacement tender 3/2425 was completed, evaluated, and selected for probity review, which extended far beyond the initial expected 30 days, lasting until mid-October 2025.
“This new replacement tender, which is the 3/2425, was then obviously completed and it was evaluated. And in this process, at the end of March, beginning of April, when the BEC concluded its work, this tender was then selected for probity. And probity process then ran its course, which initially was thought it would only be 30 days. It eventually ran up to the middle of October.”
