Government departments often find themselves at the centre of misinformation, which can lead to confusion and potential issues for businesses.
In the intricate world of government procurement, precision and transparency are crucial.
Has a government department - specifically the National Service Training Department - authorised third party agents to act on their behalf in securing tender bids?
VERDICT:
FALSE
The National Service Training Department (JLKN) has stated that it has not authorised or appointed any individual or group to act as agents for government tender bidding.
Companies should acquire all tender and quotation information via the ePerolehan portal, the primary channel for government procurement that displays advertisements, tender decisions, and outcomes.
Companies must submit their tender offers directly to the relevant ministry or department without involving any agents or third parties.
The department advises companies to consult the JLKN Procurement Unit if approached by individuals or groups claiming to be agents and to file a police report if there are any doubts.
For more details, companies can contact the JLKN Procurement Unit at 03-4013 3642 or email shafwan@mod.gov.my.
