Bids for the project are scheduled to open on July 30, 2024 at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office located in the compound of the Ministry of Finance. Kaieteur News understands that the RDC was allocated approximately $11.3 billion from this year’s budget to execute its education, health, agriculture and public works programmes among others. It is this money that will be used to fund the two projects.
