Bids are expected to be soon submitted for the extension of the Ministry of Public Health’s drug bond at Diamond and construction of a storage bond in Georgetown as the ministry moves to fulfil its pledge to stop renting private bonds.
Invitations for bids for the contracts were advertised in Wednesday’s edition of the Guyana Chronicle. The ministry advised that the tenders would be opened on Tuesday October 3, 2017, at the National Procure-ment and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
For the construction of the Central Supply Unit (CSU) storage bond, which will be located at Lot 1 Mudflat Kingston, Georgetown, the ministry estimates the structure will cost some $2.4 million. Additionally, the extension of the Material Management Unit (MMU) storage bond at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, is estimated to cost $1.6 million.
