Jamaica : JAMAICA to spend $51 million on its electronic government procurement system

Published 15 Apr 2015

The Government of Jamaica will be spending $51 million on its electronic government procurement system in a move to boost its public procurement to purchase and tender agencies and suppliers.

Automation as well as integration of these activities would be done in a single portal.

Jamaica’s parliament is to ratify total $51 million, out of which only over $31 million will go towards the hosting server and electronic procurement system, which would likely be in place by July.

The amount also include $1.47 million to be reserved for training, $575,000 for a final project evaluation and a project audit costing of just over $1 million.

The Jamaican government and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) have jointly offered the required funding.
