Cyprus University Tender Cancellation Upheld by Constitutional Court

The Cyprus Constitutional Court has dismissed an appeal against the cancellation of a tender issued by the University of Cyprus for mechanical works at the Department of Biological Sciences. The appeal concerned the rejection of the appellant's bid, which, although the lowest and technically acceptable, exceeded the project's estimated cost by 35%. The court upheld the University's decision, which was based on the opinion of the Audit Office that a re-tender with a correct cost estimate would ensure the principle of equal treatment of bidders.
