(Kaieteur News) – Two of the key contractors entrusted by the government of Guyana (GoG) to develop the nation’s first Gas-to-Energy (GTE) project, which is expected to transform the country’s energy landscape, omitted key details in bid documents and reportedly missed major structural defects in the project that can potentially cause the companies to be debarred.

Over the past weeks, Kaieteur News have reported a series of articles exposing the questionable procurement process, business practices and operational activities of the Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) firm, Lindsayca Guyana Inc as well as the consultant, Engineers India Limited (EIL).

Based on these disclosures, advocates are calling for an administrative review under Guyana’s Procurement Act 2003 (Cap 73:05) and the Procurement (Suspension and Debarment) Regulations 2019.
