Dear Editor,
The Regional Administration of the Region 5 (Mahaica/Berbice) management team has developed its procurement plan for 2017 budget implementation. The procurement plan will ensure that the Regional Administration delivers services to the residents of Region 5 in a timely, efficient, effective and transparent process.
Procurement plays a key role within a region’s operations, and there is no doubt of the importance of planning in order to maximize outcomes. To put it simply, procurement planning defines a process whereby the Region 5 management team has established what needs to be procured (goods, services or works), and when they need to be procured (contract timeframes).
Procurement planning has provided benefits for Region 5, such as an opportunity for all stakeholders to meet and discuss procurement requirements and objectives. The region had its first procurement workshop with contractors on January 20, 2017.
When it comes to procurement processes within Region 5, failing to plan is planning to fail. The Mahaica/Berbice region which set aside time to methodically plan our procurement approach will enjoy a more organized, effective, efficient and transparent service delivery to the people of the Mahaica/Berbice Region.
Yours faithfully,
Govind Singh
Deputy Regional Executive Officer
Region 5 (Mahaica/Berbice)
