The termination pronounced by the Public Procurement administration points to repeated shortcomings, encompassing non-compliance with contractual clauses, inability to lift technical reservations, unperformed services, and proven abandonment of the worksite.

Yet, the administrative chronology of this sanction raises questions regarding its exact scope. ARMP archives already documented a first 24-month ban period consecutive to the termination decision taken in July 2024, which was normally expected to end in mid-July 2026. The emergence of a new exclusion period beginning in August 2026 creates procedural ambiguity, inasmuch as no new formally modificative decision has been publicly recorded to enact this extension, complicating the analysis of the application doctrine of the Public Procurement Code texts relating to notification deadlines.

Despite these contentious turbulences, the infrastructure designed to federate alert and security systems of administrations — including notably radio communication modules, video surveillance, and an e-police platform — provisionally received at over 90% in 2022 before faltering, remains budgeted by the public authority. The Medium-Term Expenditure Framework 2026-2028 of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications thus allocates an envelope of 400 million FCFA for the current fiscal year, devoted to the operation and management of this network. The issue now lies in clarifying the legal basis of the equipment supplier’s exclusion, while ensuring the operational sustainability of a highly strategic technological project for civil security.
