📋 Tender Overview
The General Comptrollers Office revealed irregularities in the contracting of the work to create the Zarumilla Sports Village, in charge of the Regional Government of Tumbes, valued at S/1.3 million. The selection committee favored a bidder who had the same observations made to other offers, but it was admitted and awarded the contract, evidencing unequal treatment in the evaluation.
According to report No. 056-2024-2-5353-SCE, the submitted offers were observed due to the lack of the signature of the common representative, the lack of a deadline to correct, abbreviating the corporate name of the company of one of the consortium members, including a table of items to be executed that does not alter or distort the offer, among others.
However, the selection committee only detected one observation of an arithmetic error in the bidders offer that was admitted, which it corrected. However, the control commission noted that the bid also abbreviated the corporate name of one of the consortium members. Unlike the others, this action was not questioned and was the only one admitted.
These facts expose contradictions in the criteria for evaluating the bids, which shows biased action in favor of one bidder, since for the others these observations were grounds for disqualification, so the participants did not have the same opportunities. In addition, the principle of equal treatment was violated, which requires that situations that are similar not be treated differently.
Following the irregularities determined, alleged responsibility was identified in four officials, three under the criminal sphere and one under the administrative process of the entity.
