5 companies vying to rent tents, tables and chairs to Parliament

Mar 29, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – The office of the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) on Thursday received five bids from companies interested in renting tents, tables and chairs for upcoming Sittings of the National Assembly, venued at the Arthur Chung Conference Center (ACCC) at Liliendaal, Georgetown.
The procuring entity for this project is the Parliament of Guyana.
The companies vying for the contract are Star Party Rental, QA Civil Works, Alabama Trading, Puran Brothers Disposal Inc., and Anew Party Store.
Sessions of the National Assembly were moved to the ACCC following the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This newspaper was informed that since the conference centre is not outfitted with space for media operatives to dine, a decision was taken to have the facilities rented to better accommodate them.
Kaieteur News had reported that the Parliament office is presently renting tents from Rent-A-Tent, as a contract was awarded by the NPTAB for this service. However, a reliable source said that the contract with the local business has come to an end. As such, the Parliament office is seeking new contractors to supply the chairs, tables and tents.
This publication was told too that the provision of rental services is provided for in Parliament’s Budget. The source was, however, unable to say how much money was allocated to this provision.
Bids were also opened on Thursday for the rehabilitation of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority head office building located on Regent Street, a project which is estimated to cost $13 million.
