The Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) has dismissed an application for review of a Sh1.46 billion tender for the provision of comprehensive medical cover for staff of the Nairobi County government.
The tender was awarded to Jubilee Health Insurance but Star Discover Insurance Ltd challenged the process arguing that the devolved unit placed prohibitive and restrictive requirements that ended up discriminating against other players.
The company claimed that the provisions of the tender document were skewed and tailor-made for a particular tenderer, thus eliminating competition and fairness among bidders.
