Ministry Of National Security Motor Vehicle Procurement Breach?

Recently, Toyota Jamaica Limited , Kingston Industrial Garage (KIG) and ATL Automotive Group in separate letters, raised concerns to the director of procurement in the Ministry of National security, Douglas Stewart that they were advised at pre-bid meetings that each company would only be allowed to bid on one contract.

The companies refer to affiliate companies of Stewart’s Automotive Group, Silver Star Motors and Stewart’s Auto Sales being awarded contracts to supply the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) with 64 Mitsubishi pickup trucks and 43 SUVs/crossover motor vehicles.

The security ministry insists that there was no breach in its motor vehicle procurement process, however, the New Car Dealer’s Association of Jamaica (NCDAJ) disagrees.
