ProRail, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and its own supervisory board poorly informed about the extension of four maintenance contracts. The contracts had a duration of 3.5 years, but the management of ProRail has this last year given a term of ten years. That State Secretary Wilma Mansveld announced today (pdf) to the House.
The contracts were initially already awarded directly and management of the railway infrastructure has ignored in granting its internal warnings, so forward emerged from a study by accountants PWC. With the extension ProRail violates the rules regarding tendering.
Mansveld says that the practice “unacceptable” can. “That’s why action is necessary.”
The supervisory board of ProRail will discuss with the favored contractors or the duration of the contracts can be shortened. CEO Pier Eringa must be new tenders using the “lessons from this investigation,” ProRail in a statement. He must also propose procedures to ensure that the practices found to be a matter of “once and never again.”
The Chamber will only sent the summary of the PWC study because the report “company and contains sensitive information. ” Read the summary below:
