A reminder for public comment and feedback on a draft code of practice has been issued by the Office of Project Management and Procurement.

Once finalised, the code will be added to the island’s good governance framework, and followed by all public officers, a government statement said.

The document is to outline how civil servants procure goods, services and works on behalf of the people of Bermuda.

Michael Dunkley, the Premier, urged the public to review the document.

“Once adopted, it will impact service providers to the Government, including, contractors and vendors,” Mr Dunkley said — adding that it would put in place “full transparency, fairness and openness in the tendering process”, as well as demonstrating value for money.

The code can be found at https://www.gov.bm/department/office-project-management-and-procurement.

The public is invited to submit their comments by no later than 31 January 2017, to procurement@gov.bm.
