📋 Tender Overview
The Comptroller General of the Republic detected that in 2022 the Regional Public Electricity Service Company of the East (Electro Oriente) made the irregular acquisition of three generator sets for S/ 1,544,658.72 for the district of Jenaro Herrera, in the province of Requena, benefiting 787 users.
The selection process was carried out through direct contracting due to shortages, a procedure that, according to the State Contracting Law, did not apply in this case, since there were no conditions that justified a situation of this type that would prevent the entity from continuing its operations.
This acquisition included the transportation, assembly, installation, commissioning and training of personnel for the isolated system of Jenaro Herrera. However, Audit Report No. 068-2024-2-4888-AC, which covers the period from September 22, 2021 to November 16, 2022, revealed that the contracted company did not comply with the minimum technical specifications required by the user area.
In addition, it was evident that the goods delivered were approved without verifying their compliance with the specifications established in the contract bases. This affected the contracting procedure, preventing the entity from obtaining goods in better quality and price conditions.
Among those responsible for the events is the operations manager, who in his management from October to November 2021 recommended direct contracting due to shortages and subsequently approved the delivery of the goods.
The report issued by the Institutional Control Body (OCI) of Electro Oriente recommends that the Comptrollers Investigative Body prosecute the former officials and former servants involved, as well as request the Specialized Public Prosecutors Office for Corruption Crimes to initiate the corresponding criminal actions.
