OPR Flags HDC Procurement Failures | Trinidad and Tobago News

The Office of Procurement Regulation has slammed the Housing Development Corporation for botching a $3 billion housing project — uncovering major flaws in how they vetted and selected suppliers, despite no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The OPR’s July 29 statement called out gaps in due diligence during pre-qualification, leading to the project’s cancellation in June. This isn’t the first time HDC has faced scrutiny — a separate $476 million project also collapsed under similar procurement failures. While the OPR demands fixes before any new contracts, it stops short of criminal referrals, focusing instead on procedural accountability in public spending.
