The Ministry of Works and Housing has received five bids for the completion of the Saglemi Housing project, with an independent evaluation entity set to select the preferred bidder. This comes as the government intensifies efforts to finish over 1,500 unfinished units in the project.
According to the sector minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Public Procurement Authority will assist the ministry in selecting an independent evaluation entity on Wednesday.
This entity, according to the Minister, will evaluate the five bids and submit a report as part of the government’s transparent process to secure a partner for the Saglemi Housing project.
Following the bid submissions, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah informed the media that the chosen accounting firm would present the evaluation report within seven days, after which the preferred bidder would be selected to complete the project.
“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.”
