Procurement commission re-advertises for CEO

The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has re-advertised for a Chief Executive Officer.

The re-advertising comes after the PPC reviewed the proposed salary and benefits for the CEO. The earlier package had been rejected by parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

The advertisement in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek said that candidates should possess a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, Finance, Procurement, Economics or a related field. They should have at least 10 years’ experience in a senior administrative managing multidisciplinary teams, among other things. The candidate should also have demonstrated an understanding of the public procurement system, challenges and potential improvements to heighten transparency and effectiveness.
