RAF的2.97亿雷亚尔呼叫中心 与Alteram交易 绕过适当的投标 引起腐败问题 The RAF's R297 million call centre deal with Alteram bypassed proper bidding, raising corruption concerns.

交通事故基金 (RAF) 面临着对其与Alteram签订的2.97亿瑞拉的呼叫中心合同的审查,该合同没有竞争性招标. The Road Accident Fund (RAF) faced scrutiny over its R297 million call centre contract with Alteram, awarded without competitive bidding. 文件显示高级官员,包括被停职的CEO Collins Letsoalo绕过适当的采购程序,匆忙进行了24小时批准程序,而批准过程本应由投标裁定委员会领导。 Documents show senior officials, including suspended CEO Collins Letsoalo, bypassed proper procurement procedures, rushing a 24-hour approval process that should have been led by the Bid Adjudication Committee. 证据表明,早在2022年后期就决定与Alteram公司合作,这表明内部程序是一种追溯性尝试,试图制造一个合规的外表。 Evidence indicates the decision to work with Alteram was made as early as late 2022, suggesting the internal process was a retroactive attempt to create a façade of compliance. 批准该商业案的首席财务干事后来主持了批准该交易的BAC会议,造成利益冲突。 The CFO, who approved the business case, later chaired the BAC meeting that ratified the deal, creating a conflict of interest. 4名高级主管被处以预防性停职,尽管与合同的关系尚不清楚。 Four senior executives were placed on precautionary suspension, though the connection to the contract is unclear. 皇家空军无法确认合同是否符合财政部的指导方针,也无法提供导致该决定的研究细节. The RAF could not confirm whether the contract followed Treasury guidelines or provide details on the study that led to the decision.
