The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) on July 5, 2023, hosted an Open Day from 9am to 2pm at the Regional Democratic Council Compound, Anna Regina, Essequibo Coast, Region 2.
A release from the PPC said that the event was held as part of the commission’s ongoing public awareness campaign to apprise stakeholders of the rules and procedures of the public procurement system.
More than 160 persons from several procuring entities, suppliers and contractors from across the coast and the public took the opportunity to educate themselves and be guided on various topics, the release said. The process included tendering tips and how to lodge a complaint.
The Chief Executive Officer of the PPC, Michael Singh and team interacted with the participants and answered questions.
Entities seeking more information may contact the PPC on telephone numbers (592) 226-3729, (592) 231-7306, and (592) 226-2364 or via email at operations@ppc.org.gy.
The PPC has been heavily criticised for not dealing expeditiously with various complaints before it and other matters such as debarment of contractors who are not in good standing.
