Granting bidders’ requests for extension, the Department of Justice (DOJ) moved the submission date of pre-qualification (PQ) documents for the Php 50.2 billion Regional Prison Facilities through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project.
Prospective bidders now have until June 26 to submit their PQ documents for the first prison public-private partnership project in the country.
DOJ’s decision to move the deadline is in response to bidders’ request for extension and to give more time for clarifications on the prequalification requirements.
To date, three private companies are eyeing 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].
