Univern’s Software Contracts
The Committee makes the finding that the three software contracts referred to above, were not awarded properly in terms of the procurement laws of Zimbabwe.
In addition, the Committee makes the finding that there was a deliberate misleading of the State Procurement Board, which acting on wrong information or alternatively in collusion with same proceeded to issue a condonation.
The Committee makes a further finding that the issuance of a condonation by the State Procurement Board, in respect of Univern’s three software contracts was done illegally and outside the provisions of the Procurement Act [Chapter 22:14] and therefore is a nullity.
