Senate collectively approved the New Procurement Bill last night, by a
vote of 28 for, unanimous, no abstentions, the long awaited call for the
bill comes to end by approval from the Government. Opposition and
Independent Senators, clears the first hurdle towards becoming
legislation.
The Bill next moves to the House of
Representatives. It took two days as senators judged over amendments to

Ramlogan at the committee stage, which even lead to overwhelming

opposed to that background that he had made the proposal, however the
proposal was discarded.Read complete story at http://www.tendersontime.com/blog-detail/trinidadnd-tobago-senatepproves-procurement-bill-14.php
