Contraloría Urges La Libertad to Void S/315 Million LC & EC Contracts as Loreto Cancels Hospital Award

Audits cite falsified credentials alongside preferential scoring that benefited a 23-year-old’s company.

Overview

  • The watchdog recommended Governor César Acuña annul the TrujilloHuanchaco road and Virú hospital contracts awarded to consortia tied to LC & EC Constructora.
  • Findings include a certificate deemed presupposed false or inexact to accredit experience in the road bid, an improper five-point boost that was decisive in the Virú award, and the exclusion of a qualifying competitor.
  • The Loreto regional government revoked a S/22 million hospital contract after the winning consortium failed to present the required performance guarantee and did not demonstrate financial backing.
  • LC & EC’s representative, Lucero Coca Condori, filed a precautionary measure seeking to preserve the S/121 million TrujilloHuanchaco contract, according to local reporting.
  • Prosecutors are probing who facilitated the awards in La Libertad, and audits of other LC & EC wins, including the S/206 million Satipo hospital, remain pending.
