The session was led by key personnel of the PPC’s Operations Department, including Mr. Antonio Yhan, Training Officer; Ms. Esther Osborne, Attorney-at-Law; and Mr. Prakash Sookdeo, Procurement Specialist. A total of 16 participants had the opportunity to delve into crucial topics, including understanding the role of the Public Procurement Commission by Mr. Yhan, legislative framework, administrative review, and debarment discussed by Ms. Osborne, and an in-depth exploration of the procurement process, procurement plans, thresholds, and tender openings led by Mr. Sookdeo.
