Office Supply Contract voided
Local office supply stores, including at least on in Greensboro, will be happy about this:
RALEIGH – After a thorough review of the evidence, Britt Cobb, Secretary of the Department of Administration, today rejected the recommendations of the administrative law judge and cited an ambiguity regarding the E-Procurement terms in the Request for Proposals to procure office supplies for state agencies. As such, he will terminate the current contract and solicit bids for a new one.
More after the jump.
More from the release:
“Due to the technical error, we are required to take this action,” Cobb said. “More importantly, it is the right thing to do. We will re-bid the contract with the goal of having a new one in place by December 1, 2006.”Copies of the Secretary’s Final Agency Decision were provided today to involved parties, including attorneys representing Office Depot, which has the current contract, and Corporate Express, which had challenged the bid process.
