With no bids received for the Ogle to Eccles four-lane highway project, government will be retendering with help from India to attract interest from a wider pool of contractors.
The project, which is being funded by India’s Exim Bank, has been delayed as a result of the situation.
Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday explained that following the re-engagement with the Indian government, Guyana has been given approval to retender the project. He stated that the bank has agreed to have the technical prequalification done by India’s Ministry of Transport with the aim of drawing a wider pool of contractors. This process was initiated on October 29 and will run concurrently with the local ministry invitation for financial bids from interested companies.
