Several contracting firms in Chattogram have alleged that tender conditions under the Department of Livestock were deliberately designed to favor two companies linked to a local Awami League leader. The tenders, issued through the e-GP system for supplying feed and medicine to poultry farms, reportedly included technical requirements that made participation difficult for most bidders. The Ministry of Livestock is investigating the allegations.
Documents and written complaints reviewed by the newspaper indicate that the tenders imposed manufacturer authorization requirements for imported products, effectively excluding many suppliers. Contractors claim that the favored firms, owned by a former Sitakunda Awami League leader now in hiding, have dominated such contracts for 17 years. Multiple firms have petitioned the Directorate of Livestock to relax restrictive conditions and ensure fair competition.
Officials involved in the tender process have denied any wrongdoing, stating that all procedures followed public procurement rules. However, complainants insist that the restrictive terms undermine open competition and could lead to financial losses for the government if not addressed.
