Despite the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) will be responsible for the handling of the review and finalisation of debarment legislation, its Chairman Berkley Wickham says.
“There is a component under the Public Procurement Modern-isation and Financial Strength-ening Programme signed between the GoG [Government of Guyana] and the IDB [Inter-American Development Bank] which will provide a legal consultant to review the procurement legal and regulatory framework,” Wickham told Stabroek News.
“We are currently seeking to have debarment as a subset of this consultancy. The process of selecting an appropriate consultant is underway. As soon as all administrative procedures are satisfied, an announcement will be made in this regard. The PPC will be kept informed,” he added.
