Bids opened for countrywide street lighting project

The Ministry of Public Works has received billion dollar bids for the supply of lights for the ambitious plan to light up the roads countrywide, with some being fully solar while others will be tied to the national grid.

The bids were opened last week at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board and saw tenders from 26 companies.

Divided into four lots, the lights will be distributed across the country as the government aims to make the streets brighter.
