The contracts, covering a one-year period, will be awarded to the substantially responsive lowest bidders based on recommendations of the High-Level Procurement Committee and the Procurement Appeal Board.

“Five bids were received for the procurement,” he said.

The tenders were called under the National Competitive Bidding procedure on a lottery-brand basis for the printing, supply and delivery of the computer-generated lottery tickets.

The proposal to this effect was submitted by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake in his capacity as the Finance, Planning and Economic Development Minister.
