PPC to host 1-day training seminar for suppliers, contractors

The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) will host a one-day training seminar for suppliers and contractors, on May 31, at the Ramada Georgetown Princess Hotel at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The PPC is mandated by Article 212AA(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, and as enabled by S.17(2) of the Procurement Act, to organise training seminars among suppliers, contractors, and public bodies with the aim of promoting awareness of the rules, procedures and special requirements of the procurement process.
The PPC encourages all suppliers and contractors to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the public procurement process and the role of the PPC. Presentations will include information on the procurement process, tendering tips and procedures, complaints procedure, and the process of debarment of suppliers and contractors.
Besides the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) would also make a presentation on the tendering requirements as these relate to IDB-funded projects.
The objective of the seminar is to equip participants with the requisite knowledge to competently navigate the public procurement system.
Suppliers and contractors are required to register to attend the seminar. Registration opens on April 24 and closes on May 24, 2023.
To register, or obtain more information, persons are invited to contact the Commission on telephone numbers (592) 226-3729, (592) 231-7306, or (592) 226-2364; or via email at [email protected]
