[kictanet] Laptop project: Pre-bid Conference

[Ray Keller]

http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/ktn/video/watch/2000068926/-government-sets-tough-deadlines-for-bidders


This video talks about three points:

a) Bidders want to extend the timeline: Why would government like to extend
the timeline? Will they still meet the delivery timeline?

How many laptops per minute one would manufacture to meet the delivery
timeline of two months after award of the contract? Do they have existing
inventory of exactly same specs?

b) Bidders would like the government to test the solution:

Is there a specific procedure that government(MOE) will use to test the
offered solution in real situation before paying so much money? I think
that it's important to get the laptop, software and content piloted in real
schools/situation before we spend 14.7 Billion Ksh tax payer money. Why is
this step skipped? Is it not important?

I also read an article that government refused to give benefit to the youth
under this transaction claiming that it's an international tender.

Members? Thoughts?
