The Public Procurement Office (ÚVO) has proposed to cancel the planned international tender for the purchase of 4x4 army transporters.
“The Defence Ministry respects the ÚVO decision, but does not agree with it; that’s why we have appealed,” said the department’s spokesperson Danka Capáková, as quoted by the SITA newswire.

ÚVO has been checking the project since the beginning of summer, following a motion submitted by the ministry itself.
It filed the proposal in response to the published statements that the winning bidder had been chosen in advance and that it was not in compliance with the law on the public procurement.
