Cancellation of Tender Without Reason Under Section 26(3) of Assam Procurement Act Void | Bidder Awarded : Gauhati HC
The Gauhati High Court nullified a tender cancellation because the authority failed to give reasons as mandated by Section 26(3) of the Assam Procurement Act, 2017, and ordered the contract awarded to the petitioner, the lowest evaluated bidder. The ruling underscores the duty to communicate cancellation reasons, protecting bidders in future procurements.
