Official statement on wining candidates will be published soon and contractors have been asked to listen out.
Also, a re-tender was made for Maka primary school project which was a failed project and will be re-implemented this year.
In last year’s financial year 2020/2021, MARA government implemented a total of 29 PCDF projects in the province.
From the 29 projects, four project work will begin on this year are Waneagu CHS, Sinasu CHS assembly hall, Ote Rural Health Centre and Sikaiana crushing mill.
Completed projects total up to 24 and almost all of them have already been handed over to recipients. Only Sulufoloa market building is yet to be handed over.
The 29 projects covered sectors include administration, works and transport, education, water supply and sanitation, health, agriculture, women, youths and sport and investment service.
