Overview
The Government of Jamaica (GOJ) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in an amount equivalent to £35,515,000 towards the cost of Essex Valley Agriculture Development Project and intends to apply a part of the funds to cover eligible payments under the Agreement. Payment by CDB will be made only at the request of GOJ and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement prohibits a withdrawal from the Loan Account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than GOJ shall derive any rights from the Loan Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Loan.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MOAF), Essex Valley Agriculture Development Project (EVADP), now invites sealed bids from eligible and qualified Bidders for the Supply of Pipes, Fittings and Appurtenances (MOAF/EVADP/S4A/2020).
