The Ministry of Housing and Water yesterday signed a contract with Global Services Inc for the development and implementation of an information technology solution for a single window system that will see the elimination of the lengthy waiting period for the approval of building plans.
The system is expected to come online next June. According to the Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, the process of doing business in Guyana will see significant enhancements to the benefit of local and foreign investors as a result of the single window system.
The contract was awarded to Global Services Inc., a consortium of companies based in Guyana, North America and the United Arab Emirates through the National Competitive Bidding process. A brief contract signing ceremony was held at the Ministry of Housing and Water at Brickdam yesterday afternoon.
