The National Procurement Commission convened at the Marmarin Palace today, Saturday, under the chairmanship of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs.
During the meeting, 37 projects were presented for approval. After thorough discussions, the commission approved 22 projects totaling about 10.2 billion AFN, while 7 projects were amended.
In addition, the appointed committees were tasked with negotiating project prices with the winning companies and are required to submit their reports to the commission’s leadership. Contracts for two projects were canceled after the winning companies declined to proceed at the initially agreed prices, leading to a decision to re-open those projects for tender.
One project will be re-bid due to proposed prices exceeding estimates, and another was directed for implementation through a designated joint delegation. Furthermore, one company was referred to the disqualification committee due to labor violations and complaints.
Among the approved and amended projects are: The second phase of the Qosh-e-Tepa Cana. Construction of a terminal and parking lot at Ahmad Shah Baba International Airport in Kandahar. Development of a passenger and cargo terminal in Farah. Construction of a 20 km road from Aybak to Roy Du’Ab in Samangan. Establishment of public hospitals in Badkhan and Dandhan districts. Completion of electricity distribution and transmission projects in various provinces.
These projects are funded by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
