Don't be too quick to jump on votes, ttuta probably said no out right but the money was the incentive which also isn't right as was rightly said they are working and plenty didn't work with any of their students for the period the students were home.

Tutta is full of crap, many teachers in that union who claim to care about the future of our children blah blah didn’t want the SEA moved into their normal holidays...... the teachers are to blame for that - they only care about their vacation and the inconvenience it causing them....
At the end of the day the poor sea classes are the ones who pay the price ...

Now it could just be a quotation and no payments were issued by the NCRHA but check price for one month rental of two tents.

NCRHA CEO to sue Facebook user for tent rental allegations

The CEO of the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA), Davlin Thomas, has instructed his attorneys to take legal action against a Facebook user who he accused of defaming him.

In a media release on Wednesday, Thomas said he read several “defamatory” articles which are “void of any facts or credibility” with the intention of inciting mistrust in his office and against him personally.

Thomas, who is being represented by attorney Lennox Sanguienette of Hove and Associates, sent a pre-action protocol letter to Naresh N Siewah seeking damages.

The alleged defamatory comments centred on the rental of two tents after a document purporting to be a quotation from Rickel Services asked the NCRHA to pay close to $.5 million for a month. The NCRHA said the actual cost of the rental was $97,875.

In a media release on Tuesday, the NCRHA said apart from rejecting the quotation shown, the purchasing department was able to secure alternative tents at a discounted rate that best suited the needs of the authority and its patients. Thomas also said the NCRHA will not be distracted from its mission to deliver quality care to its patients. “Also worth mentioning is the fact that the NCRHA was able to decrease expenditure by $30 million dollars, below its allocation, due to its disruptive innovations during fiscal 2018-19 and has continued to engage in continuous cost-saving exercises subsequently,” the authority said on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Thomas said: “I have observed with grave concern that irresponsible postings, sharings and re-publications of inaccurate and false information concerning my staff and my office, have unfortunately gained headway in the traditional media. I am a father, a husband, a son and a professional, and I stand resolute in seeking redress through a robust justice system.”

Well then can the public see the invoice and the payment that was made for the $97,875 ?

[rspann]

Well then can the public see the invoice and the payment that was made for the $97,875 ?

Somebody who know the difference between an estimate and an invoice could post the actual bill ? Is it true that the $98,875 is for a regular 40x40 (not the Marquis that was originally quoted for ) and for 15 days? Each? Somebody who knows about tendering could say if tender procedures were followed and if after the first bid was rejected , how they went about selectecting the supplier? If it was the second bidder that was supposed to get the contract or they just negotiated with the high bidder ? Me ain't know how tendering does work.

The tender process involves having preset evaluation criteria, issuing a common scope of works or in this case rental arrangement to a group of pre qualified contractors at the same point in time (sit visit). The quotes must be submitted in sealed envelopes and ALL opened at the same time to avoid bid rigging.

Evaluation should be done by a panel to ensure best value for money and not necessarily select the lowest price (unless of course the evaluation criteria says differently).

And are these prices normal..?

Tenders are not given out strictly on price alone. If you have preferred bidder status, then you can be approached after all tenders are evaluated and asked to either lower your price, or the tender can be scrapped and re-tendered out. What is odd is that the 500K tender was for an elaborate setup and not what the RHA is saying they had in mind.

All of that is understood, but we reach that far yet.

NCRHA has to clear the air.As does the vendor.
Why was the bidder comfortable to bid 500k?
It’s a stamped doc.Legit bid.

He went in high? Or is 500k fair for what he bid for?
Is what he tendered with the equip spec matching the rfq?
Or he way over spec?

The stamped and signed doc says a lot.

I think they get ketch in tootz.

See if you question authority on the corruption, they will either take you to court and sue you to ruin your name and personal finances, or make you grovel publicly and forcibly remove your dignity as a citizen on TT and make sure everyone knows.

It's a good stance for the democracy of TT. /s

Well CEO Thomas run out hot and sweaty initially, plus that butchered press release from the NCRHA proved that the figure was not 500K. As to why that 500K quote was submitted, maybe the scope was half-assed, maybe as you said, they sent a high bid with the expectation of reducing it and letting the NCRHA claim "savings"

That there is a pretty dumb fakin idea

[Gladiator]

Hey man... This is not correct. In public tendering there is no "preferred bidder status and negotiation". The whole purpose of public tendering process it to eliminate that..

Also for proper tendering all bidders must bid on the same setup...not just one person on a more elaborate one.
