The Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. (VEHSI) has begun to advertise for more local service providers as it moves closer to its December completion date.
The company said that a request for information (RFI) was published yesterday for local providers to supply between 30-90 services. VEHSI says its RFI called for Foundational and Facility Management Services in Region 3 and additional services in Region 4. The RFI covers technical and commercial services, which include maintenance, repair, cleaning, and servicing of various systems such as water, HVAC, electrical, gas, and generator systems, along with general maintenance such as gardening and pest control. Other related services may also be required.
VEHSI highlighted that “local content strategy is a fundamental part of our operations at VEHSI. We are dedicated to strengthening workforce and supplier capacities within our local community. During the bidding process, potential contractors are expected to showcase their understanding of the Local Content Act (2021) and how it applies to their range of work.” VEHSI contractors are encouraged to utilize the resources provided by the Centre for Local Business Development (CLBD) and report performance metrics to VEHSI.
