The South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) says it is “deeply concerned” by the recent awarding of tenders by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) to joint ventures (JVs) led by foreign companies. Sanral earlier this year cancelled five of its major tenders owing to “a material irregularity in the tender process”, where a resolution made by its board in January 2020 was not implemented in the evaluation of the affected tenders.
