After a series of irregularities in bids for the purchase of rails by Valec, the Brazilian Court of Audit (TCU) determined on this Wednesday, September 25, that the state-owned company makes its next procurement processes in installments to prevent only one company to continue winning the auctions.
The process analyzed by TCU concerns the purchase of 95,000 tons of rails for the North-South railroad between the cities of Ouro Verde (state of Goiás) and Estrela d’Oeste (state of São Paulo), revoked by Valec in March. According to the minister of the court rapporteur of the case, Walton Alencar Rodrigues, it was the fourth state-owned company bid in a row revoked for alleged irregularities. At the time, only PNG, in partnership with the China’s Pangang, appeared and won the competition.
No other company could provide this amount of rails. The bid in question is a mere sham of a bid, a hideous tomb where all Valec’s administrative incompetence is buried, said Rodrigues.

Additionally, TCU found that PNG is the same company as Dismaff, which had won a previous Valec bid, which was also contested. Both companies have the same shareholders. One company is backup for the other, Rodrigues defined.
Dismaff is prohibited from providing the government because it was considered non-reputable due to an agreement with Correios.
