Suppliers have poured cold water on the State’s tender for the supply of devices for metering consumption of cooking gas based on the amount paid, new disclosures showed, scuttling the revival of the project that was supposed to sell gas cylinders to low-income households at subsidised prices.
The State Department for Petroleum said in a budget proposal report submitted to the Treasury that it advertised for the tender for the suppliers of smart metering devices but did not receive any bids.
