Altron says in court papers that the company that won the bid approached them to subcontract in April.
Altron has filed court papers asking that a portion of a R700-million computer and telecommunications network contract for the Tshwane metro be declared unlawful.that Altron TMT alleges in its court papers that the winning bidder, Brilliant Telecommunications, could not do the work and shouldn’t have been awarded the tender.
Regarding the latter tender being awarded unlawfully, Altron contends that Brilliantel did not have the accreditation from original equipment manufacturers for its bid to be acceptable. To support its argument, Altron revealed that Brilliantel approached it to subcontract on the project in April. It said it could only infer from this that Brilliantel used CBX Tech’s accreditation to overcome the shortcomings in its tender and procure equipment from Alcatel-Lucent.
However, according to the report, he did not respond to the allegation that they did not have the necessary letters of accreditation.He said Altron bid an “exorbitant amount” of over R736 million while they came in at “about” R585 million — a saving of over R150 million.This is not the first time Altron and Tshwane have been embroiled in contract disputes.Thobela Telecoms is a special-purpose vehicle in which Altron subsidiary Altron Nexus is a minority shareholder.
