The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved the submission date of pre-qualification (PQ) documents for the first prison public-private partnership project in the country.
Prospective bidders are given until June 11 to submit their PQ documents for the Regional Prison Facilities through PPP project. Interested investors can still purchase the bid documents of the Php 50.2 billion ppp project.
Last February 27, the government released its invitation to pre-qualify and bid for the prison project.
As of May, there are three prospective bidders for the project: Megawide, DM Consunji, Inc., and San Miguel Corporation.
The Regional Prison Facilities will entail the design, financing, construction, and maintenance of the modern prison facilities that will be constructed at Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija. It will accommodate 26,880 inmates, including staff housing and administrative buildings, areas for rehabilitation (sports, work and religious activity), and will be installed with high security equipment.
A number of supporting accommodation and building-related services may be outsourced as part of the PPP agreement, such as laundry, waste treatment and disposal, sewage water treatment and power generation.
For further information about the project, interested investors can contact the PBAC Secretariat office at (02) 523-0253 and (02) 523-8481 local 354 or through [email protected].
