IN a collaborative effort with the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has conducted a comprehensive training session on public procurement.

The session was led by key personnel of the PPC’s Operations Department, including Antonio Yhan, Training Officer; Esther Osborne, Attorney-at-Law; and Prakash Sookdeo, Procurement Specialist.

A total of 16 participants had the opportunity to delve into crucial topics, including understanding the role of the Public Procurement Commission by Yhan, legislative framework, administrative review, and debarment discussed by Osborne, and an in-depth exploration of the procurement process, procurement plans, thresholds, and tender openings led by Sookdeo.

The training successfully empowered participants, providing them with essential information to enhance the procurement systems within their respective organisations.

Entities interested in acquiring more information or requesting training sessions are encouraged to contact the PPC via the following contact numbers: (592) 226-3729, (592) 231-7306, and (592) 226-2364, or through email at publicprocurement@ppc.org.gy.

The collaboration between the Public Procurement Commission and the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security underscores a commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering transparency, and strengthening procurement practices in Guyana.

As the PPC continues its efforts to fulfill its constitutional mandate, it invites active participation and engagement from relevant entities to collectively enhance the landscape of public procurement in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana.
