Kannur airport consultancy contract cancelled; fresh bids to be called

Kannur International Airport Ltd (KIAL) is expected to call fresh bids for an integrated airport consultant.
This has become inevitable after it has had to cancel the agreement with a consortium led by STUP Consultants for violation of request for proposals (RFP) conditions.
An official spokesman said here that the KIAL tender notice had specified clearly that no contractor with a concurrent blacklisting was eligible to apply.
The STUP consortium and rival bidders had given an undertaking to KIAL that they did not bear any ‘blacklisted’ tag while applying to its tender.
As per the terms of the tender, the technical bids were to be evaluated first. The financial bids would be opened only if the respective technical bids had scored minimum 75 per cent marks.
