The tender was awarded to the company this past Friday and they are expected to begin executing it after a period of 10 working days, should they not be contested.

According to the regulatory agency, ESHEC was looking for a consultanc­y firm for the developmen­t of their five-year strategic plan.

ORGXPERT (Pty) Ltd is expected to provide many assurances and non-assurance services for ESHEC.
