Five offers have been received by the Ministry of Works and Housing; these are awaiting assessment by an impartial third party entrusted with choosing a bidder to finish the more than 1500 incomplete apartments of the Saglemi Housing project.
The Public Procurement Authority will help the ministry choose an impartial evaluation body on Wednesday, according to Sector Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
The Minister stated that this body will assess the five bids and provide a report as part of the open process the government is utilizing to find a partner for the Saglemi Housing project.
Following the bid submissions, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah told the media that the preferred bidder would be picked to finish the project, and that the selected accounting firm will provide the evaluation report within seven days.
“We have received five bids. From today, we have already requested the Public Procurement Authority to help us select an independent evaluation entity. And I do understand that about four organisations have been pre-qualified by the Public Procurement Authority, out of which we will select one.
“On Wednesday, as I mentioned, we will select the independent evaluation entity and we will handle these bids to the independent evaluation entity. And according to our work programme, within seven days we are expecting to receive the revert from the independent evaluation entity, which will tell us which of these five bidders is a preferred bidder.”
