The Department of Waste Management (DWM) has opened a call for sealed quotations for the supply of thirty (30) eight-yard, open-top industrial skips intended for general waste storage across the British Virgin Islands, according to a notice posted by the Government of the Virgin Islands.
The notice specifies that the skips must be constructed from durable industrial-grade steel and finished with an anti-corrosive, semi-gloss green paint to withstand the marine environment and ensure a consistent appearance at public and commercial waste-handling sites. The Government says the containers will support territory-wide waste management operations, improving collection efficiency and providing greater capacity during seasonal peaks and community clean-ups.
Interested suppliers are required to submit quotations in a sealed envelope clearly labelled with the company name and the reference 'Supply of Eight-Yard Skips for DWM'. The Government's update reiterates that all required documents must be included at the time of submission and that incomplete packages will not be considered.
Quotations must be hand-delivered to the Department of Waste Management Office on the 2nd Floor, Union Property Building (next to Happy Lion Restaurant) no later than 4:00 p.m. on 29 November 2025. For procurement clarifications and additional information the notice lists Mr. Levi Benjamin, Acting Director, as the primary contact by telephone at 284-468-4934.
The Government's published update also includes public communications contacts: Natasha Lettsome-Humphrey, Public Health Communications Specialist at the Ministry of Health and Social Development, can be reached at 468-2286 or by email at nlettsome@gov.vg. International media enquiries have been directed to BVIGovernment@dgagroup.com.
The Government notice stresses that suppliers should follow the submission instructions carefully to ensure their bids meet the stated requirements, including any minimum specifications set out in the full procurement document. While the core construction and finish details are listed in the notice, suppliers are advised to consult the full procurement notice posted by the Government of the Virgin Islands for any additional technical or compliance requirements.
Local contractors and regional suppliers with experience in heavy-duty container manufacturing and protective finishes are encouraged to participate. The DWM procurement presents an opportunity for businesses to support improved waste infrastructure across the territory, from cleaner communal areas to better handling of commercial waste streams.
For general government enquiries, appointment bookings and further services the notice points residents and suppliers to the Government of the Virgin Islands helpline at 1(284)468-3701, the virtual booking system, and a WhatsApp contact at 1(284)468-9760. The Government also lists its administrative address at 33 Admin Drive, Wickhams Cay 1, Tortola for reference.
The full procurement notice, contact details and submission instructions were published by the Government of the Virgin Islands; prospective suppliers should ensure their submissions are complete and hand-delivered before the strict deadline to be considered.
