Respondents to global tenders have not furnished documents, says Dy. CM
The State government has decided to purchase vaccines directly from manufacturing companies as the two companies which had submitted bids in response to global tenders for supply of vaccines have not submitted the required documents, according to Deputy Chief Minister Ashwath Narayan. Mr. Narayan, who is also the chairman of the State COVID Task Force, told reporters in Bengaluru on Monday that one company was from Bengaluru and another was from Mumbai. But both of them had not annexed the required technical as well as supply-related documents. He also expressed concern that both the companies had not even participated in the virtual meetings later.More Related News
