The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe
The tender was awarded to the lowest bidder, and no breach of tender conditions by that supplier has been identified. The issue arose when a private company supplying about 20 percent of the market failed to deliver, increasing demand on the other company, and measures are being taken to resolve the situation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member Chamara Sampath, you accept that the tender was given to the lowest price; that is correct. If the supplier violates tender conditions, we will take next steps—but that is not the case here. Since the private company that supplies about 20 percent failed to supply, people shifted to the other company, causing this issue. We are resolving it.
