Eight bidders shortlisted to build Corentyne bridge

Eight bidders from around the world have been shortlisted to build the proposed Corentyne River bridge linking Guyana to Suriname.

“Based upon the agreement that we have with Suriname, 38 bids were evaluated by both sides and then jointly, out of that process, we have selected eight bidders that are now prequalified and would be required to put in price proposals,” Public Works Minister Juan Edghill told Stabroek News.

“We anticipate that these price proposals would be available no later than three months. The next stage would be to have the preferred bidder and the engagement to begin,” he continued.
