Government Seeks Tenders for Repair of Enid
The Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports announces a tender invitation for the sealing and repair of the Enid Scatliffe Pre-Primary School's roof in Road Town, Tortola. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 28, 2025, as part of the vetting process.
In an effort to address the urgent need for infrastructure repairs at educational facilities, the Government of the Virgin Islands, specifically through the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, has made a public call for tenders to undertake the sealing and waterproofing of the roof at the Enid Scatliffe Pre-Primary School (ESPPS) located in the heart of Road Town, Tortola.
This initiative underscores the government's commitment to maintaining safe and conducive learning environments for the territory's youngest learners. The tender process, which officially opened on August 27, 2025, involves a meticulous selection procedure that includes a mandatory site visit for all interested contractors on August 28, 2025, at 3:00 p.m.
This requirement aims to ensure that bidders fully understand the scope and specifications of the work needed to effectively eliminate water ingress, thereby protecting the structure and extending the lifespan of the school's roof. Contractors wishing to submit their bids must do so by September 2, 2025, providing both an original and a copy of their tender package in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the project title.
Late submissions will not be entertained, emphasizing the project's urgency. The Ministry's selection criteria will focus on the tenderers' ability to meet the project's requirements within the stipulated timeframe, with all works needing to be satisfactorily completed by October 15, 2025.
This project is part of a broader government initiative to upgrade and maintain educational facilities across the British Virgin Islands, ensuring that they meet safety and quality standards. By investing in critical infrastructure repairs such as this, the government aims to provide a safe, secure, and conducive learning environment for all students, thereby fostering their academic development and well-being.
The community eagerly awaits the enhancement of the ESPPS's facilities and looks forward to the successful completion of this essential project.
