Of the 29 contractors, 24 submitted bids below the engineer’s $25.9 million estimate to do the works. They bid between $19,440,000 and $25,590,000.

In January 2025, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson at a press briefing said the government has since invested some $321 million for various works at the building.

In November 2022, the ministry awarded a $97 million contract to ECS Construction & General Supplies, to cover only the first phase of the modernisation project. That phase, entailed the redesign of the front section of the building, which would be reconstructed.

In December that year, NPTAB awarded an initial contract for the installation of the HVAC systems at the facility. That $89,840,020 project was also awarded to ECS Construction & General Supplies. During that month too, another contract for electrical installation was awarded to A. Ogransein & Sons to the tune of $31,409,000.

Following that, NPTAB awarded a $60,324,675 contract to S&K Construction Consultancy Service & General Supply for the completion of the northern face of the building.

At the press briefing Minister Ramson said that approximately $7.6 million was spent on plumbing works that was done by KNV Designs Construction. Another $4 million was spent to replace an area which had rotten boards in a concrete structure.

Further, he disclosed that rehabilitation was also done on the side walls for $7.9 million, which was executed by R. Persid Construction, and ceiling works for $12 million.

Notably, the minister explained that in relation to the installation of AC, which was initially awarded for $89 million, “We had to terminate that project in 2023. They completed about $65 million worth of works, but we terminated the project because they were delaying, it was poor performance so it delayed. It is not that they weren’t doing quality work, it is that they were taking too long.”

To complete the installation of the AC, he explained that the ministry tendered for and awarded a $37 million contract.

At the time, the minister said that the remaining works to complete the project related to the parking lot area and the installation of bucket seats. Meanwhile, the ministry in 2025 tendered for the construction of a section of a fence, an access bridge, and to upgrade of the lighting on the court at the facility, which take it to more than $321 million that have been spent to upgrade the facility.

Recently, the ministry announced the installation of the bucket seats while noting that the facility now has the capacity to accommodate more than 2,000 spectators.
