The claim
هل خالفت وزارة الاتصالات القوانين المرعية الإجراء بعقد اتفاق بالتراضي مع شركة Stream Media؟
Original review summary
The review concludes that the Ministry of Telecommunications bypassed competition and public-private partnership procedures by contracting with Stream Media through mutual agreement. It also says the claimed exclusivity used to justify the contract under public procurement rules was questionable, since Stream Media would provide broadcast rights rather than own the content.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the Ministry sought an opinion on an Ogero OTT service on 24 December 2023; the advisory body said the service could be provided subject to conditions, including compliance with public-private partnership rules. [S1]
The review reports that Ogero invoked Article 46 of the Public Procurement Law, which permits negotiated contracting when no alternative supplier exists, and disputes that Stream Media had exclusive content. [S1]
