Grinaker-LTA, which took the Dube Tradeport, Airports Company SA (Acsa) and the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government to court yesterday over the R4bn King Shaka International Airport construction contract, will today know whether an interdict halting negotiations with the preferred bidder will be granted, says Business Report.
Judge Jan Hugo will make his ruling at 2pm. Grinaker-LTA, which was one of two shortlisted bidders, wants an urgent interim interdict preventing Acsa and the Dube Tradeport from finalising the contract with preferred bidder, Group Five. Grinaker-LTA is separately applying for the tender to be reviewed and set aside, claiming it was procedurally unfair. Alternatively, it wants the decision to exclude it from the bidding and tendering set aside. Full report in Business Report
