Court orders notice over metro tender allotment

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Friday ordered issue of notices to the State on a petition by a Spanish company that had challenged the award of a tender contract for installation of automated fare collection system to a rival company.

Telvent Trafico Y Transports of Madrid, Spain, had challenged the tender awarded to a consortium of companies led by Samsung.

Telvent said it had bid lower than Samsung. It said while its base bid was for Rs. 45 crore, Samsung had bid Rs. 75 crore.

Yet, the bid by Samsung was accepted.

Telvent said its bid was 70 per cent lower than that of its competitor. It urged the court to stay the tender.

Justice Ajit Gunjal ordered issue of notices and adjourned hearing of the case.
