During yesterday’s session at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), Ministry of Finance compound, over 145 firms submitted prequalification bids for a Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) contract, under two categories. The first category dealt with Works and Services, while category B was for the supply of materials.

Meanwhile, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) received bids for an audit of the special purpose financial reports from the Power Utility Upgrade Programme (PUUP).

The PUUP was a component of one of two agreements signed in October of 2014 between former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) President, Alberto Luis Moreno, made with the intentions of benefitting Guyana’s water and electricity capacity.

Under the first agreement, the electricity upgrade program was slated to receive some US$64.6M, to be rolled out over a five year period.
