Was the lawyer in possession of the documents too scared to jump on the back of a motorbike ?

Something fishy here !!!

Amazing that CP a corporation worth billions can not plan to have the documents delivered before the deadline.

Why do they have to wait. ? Is here a way to find out the content of others submission bids and modify their offer at the last minute ?

Otherwise, 24 hours before would be a safe bet .

The other commenter is correct, its a common norm in the construction industry here to submit their bid documents on the last day. Otherwise, you're giving your competitor a chance to adjust their final offered price. And how would the other party know the other bidders' amount? Your guess is as good as mine :) 

Pleased to see its not only the little guys who have bad days. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Everyone knows the traffic situation in Bangkok and plans accordingly.

 

Thais cannot even be punctual for the benefit of Bt-290 billion! Just like 5-year olds...

 

I am not Thai, but if I have an appointment on the other side of town, I plan ahead. Even if I have to travel 2 hours in Bangkok's notorious traffic, I am hardly ever late. Usually I am 'right on time', or a few minutes early. All possible by thinking ahead and planning your time...

Good, maybe thay will use their money and clout to help resolve the issues.  How many people park in front of 7-11s blocking traffic...

and sitting in the office all day previously playing solitaire on his computer drinking coffee could have popped along then after lunch not a business very good at forward planning.

I'm assuming it was a "sealed bid" in which case someone should have been in the proper office to submit the bid exactly at the closing time.   That eliminates a competitor from adjusting his bid.

 

Major cock up here, I'd say.

If it was worth that much, you'd think they might get it in the day before!

Had to be confirmed the correct brown envelope had been delivered first?

 

Must be the first project in history of Thailand that isn't awarded to "know-it-all" mighty CP

A very successful company. Should have invested years ago.

How do you adjust a sealed bid, but guess this is Thailand and anything is possible. 

a pork vendor that wants in on construction ?

 

well, this is the land of the billionaire MP'S after all

 

and the 1000 multi-millionaire generals on a government salary

As Itai-Thai is part of the consortium, they got lost in the jungle.

The court heard a testimony from the five petitioners representing Thana Holding Joint Venture Co Ltd and four affiliates that they had missed the 3-pm deadline for the formal submission of bidding documents by a mere nine minutes due to traffic congestion.

We ARE in Thailand! Or had they somehow managed to overlook that fact?
