Public Procurement Commission says IDB pledged support in strengthening processes

The Public Procurement Commission has said that it initiated getting support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) as it is always looking for ways to strengthen the process here but that a dollar figure support pledge has not yet been established.

“The PPC recognizes that there is always room for improvement in the face of the ever-evolving demands of the sector and having regard to technological advancements like e-procurement, and the necessity for refining existing legislative frameworks,” the PPC said following questions from the Stabroek News after a release on the meeting with the IDB last month.

“Acknowledging that systems are by their nature inherently imperfect and subjected to improvement, the PPC is committed to continuous improvement of its operations which is mandated by the Constitution,” it added.
