📋 Tender Overview
The rehabilitation works of several educational centers in Malabo and Bata will begin soon. This was announced during the working meeting that the Vice President of the Republic held this Thursday, March 5, with the Prime Minister and other members of the Government.
To launch these works, the Executive had established as a prerequisite the presentation of bank guarantees by the winning companies, in order to ensure that they have the necessary financial capacity to correctly execute the works.
During the meeting held at the Peoples Palace in Malabo, GE-Proyectos reported that six of the fifteen selected companies have already presented the required bank guarantees. After verifying the documentation presented, Nguema Obiang Mangue has ordered GE-Proyectos to immediately issue the start orders so that these companies can begin the rehabilitation work as soon as possible.
The Vice President of the Republic has reiterated that any company that aspires to execute State works must present valid bank guarantees, as a guarantee of compliance with contracts, the quality of the works and respect for execution deadlines. With this measure, the Government seeks to avoid situations that occurred in the past, when some companies obtained contracts without having the necessary resources or abandoned projects after having received the corresponding payments.
Likewise, in his interest in guaranteeing not only the completion of the works, but also their quality, the countrys second-largest political figure has expressed his concern about the lack of technical tools that allow adequate verification of construction standards during the execution of projects.
Given this situation, Nguema Obiang Mangue has urgently instructed GE-Proyectos and the Ministry of Public Works to present a detailed plan of control materials and construction standards, which serves as an instrument of technical supervision. As he has pointed out, many of the deficiencies that appear over time in public infrastructure are related to the use of inadequate materials or insufficient supervision during the execution of the works.
