Chunghwa can prove its equipment bidding is transparent

November 20, 2002

Taiwanese mobile operator Chunghwa Telecom said it is confident of being able to prove that its bidding process for 3G mobile network equipment is "very transparent."

"I'm very confident and am not worried about that. There won't be any problem," said Mao Chi-kuo, chairman of Chunghwa Telecom.

The operator, which is 95% owned by the Taiwan government, decided earlier this month to suspend announcing its decision to award a NT$12 billion contract to buy 3G network equipment from Nokia.

It was not clear as to why the operator decided to award the contract to Nokia despite other participants offering cheaper prices for network equipment. Nortel, Siemens and Ericsson complained that Chunghwa's decision-making process lacked transparency.

The state owned Central Trust of China, the Taiwan government purchasing authority which administered the auction, is still taking questions from the three losing bidders.

Under laws governing purchases made by government controlled entities, Chunghwa is required to explain its decision to the three losing bidders. An unsatisfied explanation would allow the three to bring the case to the Cabinet's Public Constructions Commission.
