Making the announcement, Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi said this was the lowest bidder compared to Haier Electrical Appliances Corporation Limited and Hewlett-Packard, HP who were also shortlisted.
The company is expected to distribute 400,000 laptops to various schools in the first batch before the end of March this year.
“It is possible to award a tender to a company that claims to have an office yet it doesn’t even exist. To find a company that doesn’t even have the capability from a technical perspective. The result of our evaluation indicates that Olive Telecommunication PVT Limited is the lowest and most advantageous bidder,” Kaimenyi told journalists.
He says the government will save about Sh8billion compared to the previous cancelled tender which quoted at Sh32 billion.
