Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Friday has decided to award future projects to government organisations after the federal cabinet approved the amendment of procurement rules, according to news sources.
The federal government adopted an amendment that enabled government departments to use the services of other government organizations without having to issue tenders.
In a board meeting presided over by Amer Ali Ahmed, it was agreed that CDA will work on two multibillion projects: the reconstruction of I.J.P Road (PKR 6 billion) and the 7th Avenue Interchange and Srinagar Highway near Aabpara (PKR 1.5 billion). Furthermore, it was stated that the civic authority will request the services of the National Logistic Cell (NLC) or Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) from the Defence Ministry .
According to CDA, because the 7th Avenue Interchange is in a sensitive area, only a government-run company can complete the work quickly, Moreover, it was revealed that the government entity will be in charge of the construction of the district court.
Following the change, a CDA official, whose identity was not disclosed, claimed that there are no obstacles in contracting government organisations for the expeditious completion of projects.
