KenGen cancels and reopens tender for power plant consultancy work
Pylons of high-tension electricity power lines are seen at the Olkaria II Geothermal power plant near the Rift Valley town of Naivasha, Kenya on February 15, 2018.
KenGen has been ordered to cancel a multi-million shillings tender awarded to an Italian firm for consultancy services of the planned Sh31.9 billion ($247.5 million) Olkaria VII geothermal plant.
The Public Procurement and Regulatory Authority tribunal ruled that KenGen unfairly awarded the tender to ELC Electroconsult SPA, which quoted a price of Sh2.69 billion (€18.16 million) compared to another Italian firm, Sintecnica Engineering and Steam SRL (a joint venture) that had quoted a lower price of Sh2.49 billion (€16.79 million).
