The Ministry of Health is seeking bids for the rehabilitation and conversion of what used to be the Ocean View Convention Centre into a quarantine and treatment facility.
In an advertisement in today’s Stabroek News, the ministry said that a pre-bid conference will be held at the facility at Liliendaal on July 6 at 2pm. While it wasn’t specified in the advertisement, it is likely that the facility will be utilised for the quarantining and treating of COVID-19 patients.
The Convention Centre, which fell into disuse, was part of the Ocean View Hotel complex. The hotel was transformed under the APNU+AFC government into the Infectious Diseases Hospital. It is now the main treatment facility for COVID-19 patients.
Bids have to be submitted by July 13.
