As it endeavours to assist its over 300 members to attain the requisite compliances and so tap into procurement opportunities in both the public and private sectors, the Black Entrepreneurs Association (BEA) of Guyana will be meeting with a number of ministries and business organisations in the first quarter of this year.
Already, the organisation has met with the Ministry of Public Works and says that after the debate and passage of the 2023 Budget, it plans to reach out to other ministries and agencies of government.
“Yesterday [Thursday] we met with the Ministry of Public Works…we had a really good meeting with Minister [Juan] Edghill. Our 2022 goal was to help our members to be compliant and business ready, and working with our membership, so that they can venture out into getting contracts and partnerships and so forth,” BEA Executive and spokesperson, Melissa Varswyk, told Stabroek News in an interview.
