Procurement seminar clears the air on some issues

Participants at  the recently concluded European Union (EU)and Cariforum capacity building public procurement training seminar say that government ministries need to be more involved in such forums to enable bidders to better understand the procurement process  within those entities.

“I think yesterday was fantastic for me. It was of an international standard and the Jamaican guy really broke it down, the way he put everything over but we need more of these forums,” Suresh Jagmohan, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of S. Jagmohan Construction and Hardware Supplies told Stabroek News yesterday.

Further, he added “But I have to say that more of the ministries need to be represented at these seminars and even host some of this training because look, yesterday many of the (agencies), GWI for example was not there and many other entities who procure, when you had questions involving them.”
