Project Management Mechanism Being Promoted, Auditor General Tells Parliament

The Auditor General, Andreas Antonides, informed the Parliamentary Control Committee about the promotion of a project management mechanism, which will be submitted for consultation to the relevant Ministries of Finance, Transport and the Deputy Ministry of Research and Innovation. The discussion concerned improvements to the procedures for tendering and implementing public contracts, following an audit by the Audit Office regarding the procurement of protection systems for critical infrastructure from unmanned aerial vehicles. The audit revealed problems in the planning and monitoring of the project, as well as the lack of a maintenance contract. The Auditor General announced that the name of the unsuccessful bidder has been registered in the register of exclusion from public contracts.
