PARLIAMENT OFFICE

REQUEST FOR THE SUBMISSION OF NAMES OF PROPOSED NOMINEES

The Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament of Guyana is in the process of nominating persons to be members of the Public Procurement Commission.

Article 212X (1) of the Constitution of Guyana states that “the Public Procurement Commission shall consist of five members who shall have expertise and experience in procurement, legal, financial and administrative matters” and (2) The President shall appoint the members of the Commission after such members have been nominated by the Public Accounts Committee and approved by not less than two-thirds of the elected members of the National Assembly”.

In addition, it is the wish of the PAC that the composition of the Public Procurement Commission would reflect, as far as possible, the national and gender makeup of Guyana.

The nominees should first and foremost be competent to carry out the required duties. The usual considerations regarding the need to be of good repute, without criminal records and no history of bankruptcy, apply.  

In keeping with the decision of the Public Accounts Committee to seek names from a reasonable wide cross section of society, the PAC hereby invites stakeholders, political parties, civil organisations as well as individuals, who have an interest in the establishment and proper working of the Public Procurement Commission, to submit the names of persons eligible to be considered as Commissioners.

The Commissioners, once appointed, would be part-time.

The Committee has set a deadline of Wednesday, 11^th November 2026 for the submission of the names of nominees.                  

All submissions should emanate from clearly identifiable addresses and/or from named organisations and must be addressed to:
