Luanda - The National Public Procurement Service (SNCP) may suspend procedures if irregularities and illegalities are detected in contract formation processes, the deputy director general, Lídia Vunge said.
Lídia Vunge, in an interview to ANGOP, admitted that not all public contracting entities inform the SNPC when they launch a tender.
She pointed out, to some extent, the lack of knowledge of the Public Contracts Law by some contracting entities, as it has been in force for less than two years.
But "anyway it's a flaw, it's in the Law, because the Contracting Public Entity (ECP) launched a competition and didn't communicate it to us, or in other words, there was a lack of compliance with the rules and principles of public contracting, in this case, we can suspend the competition, until the ECP overcomes the flaw", she highlighted.
This practice on the part of some ECPs, she continued, led the SNCP to hold seminars in the country's 18 provinces, explaining the new features brought by Law 41/20, of 23 December.
