MANILA, Nov. 15 (PNA) — It will take longer for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to acquire new closed circuit television surveillance (CCTV) systems, an airport chief said.
Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Jose Angel Honrada, in a press conference earlier this week, said that the delay was due to a failed bidding in the airport’s CCTVs.
The bidding for the Php 480-million CCTVs attracted some 39 firms last September.
MIAA declared a failure of the bidding last Oct. 27.
Honrado told reporters that two winning bidders failed the post-qualification review, noting that passing the review was part of the procedures before the awarding the contract.
Asked if any of the bidders filed a motion for reconsideration, Honrado said that the second bidder did but was later denied.
MIAA ,however, said that it has plans to reopen the bidding and publish the invitation to bid this month. (PNA)
