Intralot loses approval to take over Maryland LCMCS contract
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency has now recommended Scientific Games for the deal.
Key Points
- The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency has revoked Intralot’s recently awarded LCMCS contract
- The agency has discovered that the supplier’s proposal did not meet legally mandated RFP requirements
- Scientific Games has now been contacted as the next in line to take over the contract
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency has officially revoked Intralot’s recently obtained Lottery Central Monitoring and Control System (LCMCS) proposal contract in the state – following an official review of the supplier’s proposal.
Last month, the agency entered into a new agreement with Intralot which would have seen the company take over this monitoring and control system contract – after having deemed the supplier’s proposal to have met the necessary Request for Proposal (RFP) demands. However, following an extensive additional review the lottery commission discovered that Intralot’s proposal did not manage to meet all the legally demanded RFP requirements.
Now, in the wake of this action, the agency has contacted Scientific Games, the official second-ranking offer, to inform the company that it is now the frontrunner to take over the contract.
Speaking on the decision, Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency Director, John Martin, said, “As an independent agency, our review process is designed to ensure that proposals don’t advance without meeting all requirements. Upon determining that our initial assessment was incorrect, we have taken appropriate action to move forward with the procurement process in accordance with procurement law.”
