The Khanh Hoa Provincial Development Project Management Board has just decided to cancel the bidding notice for package 5 (construction and equipment) of the Dien Khanh Ancient Citadel restoration project. The reason for the cancellation is that there are no contractors meeting the requirements of the bidding documents. Currently, this unit is organizing a re-bidding for the above package.

The project to restore and embellish the Dien Khanh Citadel, with a budget of over 166 billion VND, is invested by the Provincial Development Project Management Board. The project has a scale of 12 items, to preserve and promote the historical and cultural values ​​of the Dien Khanh Citadel national relic. In particular, package 5 of the above project has a bidding value of nearly 80 billion VND.

Previously, the professional appraisal and consulting unit discovered that some enterprises had signs of using fake documents to participate in bidding for package 5. The documents suspected of being fake included certificates, machinery and equipment inspection documents, etc.

More specifically, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyet Cang (officer in charge of surveying) belongs to the consortium of companies participating in the bidding, including: Construction and Investment Company Limited, Duc Tin Construction Design Company Limited, HTL Technical Service Trading Company Limited, and Cultural Construction and Restoration Joint Stock Company, was proposed to take on the position of officer in charge of surveying for the bidding package.

The contractor provided Ms. Cang with a 2009 degree from the University of Mining and Geology, majoring in geodesy. However, the school confirmed that it did not issue a university degree to Ms. Cang.

In 2021, Ms. Cang also had her construction practice certificate revoked by the authorities for using a fake university degree. The machinery and equipment records of Construction and Investment Company Limited were rented from other units.

Afterwards, the consortium of businesses explained and proposed to replace Ms. Cang with another person. However, the above proposal was determined by the competent authority to be invalid and was not considered.

In addition, the professional unit also discovered that two joint ventures participating in the bidding for the above project, including Ngu Thuong Engineering - Construction Joint Stock Company, Viet Quang Construction Joint Stock Company No. 1, Central Fine Arts Joint Stock Company and Tien Phat Fire Prevention Joint Stock Company, provided incorrect university degrees for their personnel.

Similarly, the consortium of Tung Lam Construction and Trading Joint Stock Company, Cultural Works Construction and Conservation Joint Stock Company, BHT Tay Son Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company and Gia Phat Development - Service Company Limited provided inaccurate equipment inspection certificates.

Based on the above, the Provincial Development Project Management Board will not continue to consider other contents of the bidding documents of the above 3 consortiums and evaluate the bidding documents of these 3 units as unqualified. This agency proposes to reject the bidding documents and handle them according to regulations.
