Thai court rules cancellation of Orange Line train project bid unlawful

[snoop1130]

 

The Central Administrative Court has ruled that the cancellation of the bid for the construction of the 120-billion-baht western section of the Orange Line train project, between Bang Khun Non and Min Buri, is unlawful.

 

In February last year, the Public-Private Partnership selection committee decided to scrap the bid on the grounds that calling a new auction would enable the project to proceed more quickly than the current process, which was mired in legal wrangles in the Administrative Court.

 

One of bidders, Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC) filed a lawsuit with the Central Administrative Court against the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA), the project’s owner and the selection committee, over changes to the terms of reference (ToR) after the sale of the bid envelopes by MRTA.

I guess the brown envelop was not big enough.
