Tender Board to Publish Details on Successful Tenders
St Helena Government is committed to improving transparency across its operations. As a further step, the Economy and Finance Committee has agreed that contracts awarded by the Tender Board will be publicised on a quarterly basis. Details will include the name of the successful tenderer, the total contract price and a brief outline of the contract awarded.
Chairperson of the Economy and Finance Committee, Councillor Tara Thomas, explained that “greater transparency across SHG’s operations will enable the public to hold public bodies and politicians to account. This is a first step and we will be working closely with directorates over the coming months to identify ways in which we can move further on honouring SHG’s transparency commitment”.
The Secretary to the Tender Board will hold a register of all tenders that are awarded with the name of the successful tenderer and the value. This register will be available for inspection at the Secretariat in the Castle by all interested persons.
The decision on each tender will also be communicated on a quarterly basis on the SHG website www.sainthelena.gov.sh
