Gov’t sets up website for procurement notices

Government has established a website, www.eprocure.gov.gy on which  all government advertisements and notices will be placed, a press  statement from the Office of the President announced yesterday.

The statement said that the government in implementing its ICT strategy, specifically e-government, has decided to employ the use of the electronic medium in the publication of notices and the procurement process of goods and services.

In that regard, legislation was recently enacted to make provision for electronic publication. And the move is in tandem with the recent availability of more and cheaper bandwidth, the statement added.

According to the Office of the President, the website will enhance accountability and transparency by displaying all current ads and notices according to sectors and categories while maintaining as well an inventory of past placements.
