Lto current Executive Directorate of the National Institute of Student Welfare (INABIE) has paid RD$246,944,291.04 to suppliers who distributed kits of feeding crude during the covid-19 pandemic, related to the INABIE-CCC-LPN-2019-0001 bidding process, which also covered the year 2020.
This amount corresponds to the payment of 140 suppliers that represent 86% of the releases generated from this process.
In this sense, the processed files amount to 301, of which 161 are with releases in process, equivalent to RD$295,578,238.65.
In order to honor these payments, whose debts were generated during the years 2020 and 2021, the current management has made extraordinary efforts to solve this issue since there were multiple incidents and the site audits had to be carried out.
Call suppliers to sign addenda to continue payments
INABIE urges providers who have not yet signed the corresponding addenda to approach the institution as soon as possible in order to finalize the payments for the raw food kits that were distributed in past administrations.
Currently there is a list of 49 suppliers that have not executed these signatures despite the steps taken by the institution to contact them via email and phone calls.
Payments continue
Likewise, the institution reported that it continues to make payments for the recently concluded school year with the aim that by September 2022, the files that are complete and do not present incidents are settled in full.
The Address Executive led by Víctor Castro, reiterated its commitment to transparent actions and audits that must be carried out to continue executing payments to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises that have provided their services for the benefit of students.
