THE Ministry of Public Works, on Monday, conducted a specialised workshop on the bidding and procurement process for contractors. This initiative was a direct response to a commitment made by Vice President, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, following an outreach event at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
During the outreach, several contractors expressed difficulties in securing work opportunities, prompting the Vice President to address their concerns. The workshop, led by procurement specialists, aimed to empower contractors with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the procurement process effectively.

The Ministry emphasised that equipping contractors with the right skills and information was crucial for ensuring a fair and transparent system for all stakeholders. By doing so, the Ministry hopes to foster a more robust and inclusive environment for economic growth and development in Guyana.
The workshop is part of a broader effort to enhance the capabilities of local contractors, ensuring they can compete fairly and successfully in the procurement landscape. The Ministry of Public Works remains committed to supporting the contractor community and promoting equitable opportunities for all.
