A supplier discovers that the procurement proceeding for a public institution in which he participated was not following the procedures stipulated in the Public Procurement Regulations of 2011. A pre-bid meeting was only accorded to one bidder. The same bidder submitted their bid late after the official closing time and was accepted by the procuring entity.

REQUIRED:

As an aggrieved supplier, how would you intervene in such a situation? Discuss the process involved and show the allowable timelines for your submission to be considered if you decided to intervene.
