Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

of the contractor via letter ref.DET/2/7/01 of
6/11/2007.
(iii) Lack of provision for liquidated damages
Contract for provision of Female Sanitary Services
for 2006/2007 (Bradys Quality Service at TZS. 9,000
per Bin per Month) and Contract for Block Staking
Operations of Bagged Cargo at Dar es Salaam Port for
2006/2007 had no provision for liquidated damages.
(iv) Inconsistency in evaluation of tenders
We also noted existence of inconsistence in tender
evaluation in respect of Contract for Maintenance of
Gardens at DSM Port with Property Market Consult –
Shs.107,916,000. While other bidders were
disqualified during the evaluation process under the
category of licence, by having licence of cleaning
and not gardening (i.e Ludewa Batini Co, Intercapital
LTD, Perfect Cleaning LTD and Professional Cleaning
LTD), the awarded service provider M/s Property
Market Consult had a trading licence on valuation
and property management business which raised
doubt on gardening competency.
(v) Lack of clarity on the quantity and contract price
The contract price in respect of Contract for
provision of Female Sanitary Services for 2006/2007
was quoted to be Shs.9,000 per bin per month.
However, the number of bins to be attended remain
unknown, hence a room for over claims. As regards
the Contract for Block Staking Operations of Bagged
Cargo at Dar es Salaam Port for 2006/2007 the
signed letter of understanding did not mention price
of varied bags (other than 50 kgs) which was made in
the addendum signed on 10 January, 2008. Rates
were revised 11 months later before expiry of the
contract period (1 calendar year) as follows:
