Tenders Open for Ac Installation at Joyce
The Government of the Virgin Islands, through the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs & Sports (MEYAS), has issued two separate tender opportunities: installation of air conditioning at Joyce Samuel Primary School in Belle Vue, Tortola, and an air-conditioner cleaning project at Elmore Stoutt High School in Road Town, Tortola. Mandatory site visits for both projects are scheduled for Wednesday, 25 March 2026 (Joyce Samuel at 10:00 a.m.; Elmore Stoutt at 11:00 a.m.), and sealed tenders are due by Tuesday, 7 April 2026 at 12:00 p.m.
The Government of the Virgin Islands, via the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs & Sports (MEYAS), has released two procurement notices inviting tenders for air-conditioning works at public schools across Tortola. One tender covers the installation of air conditioning at Joyce Samuel Primary School in Belle Vue, while the other is for the cleaning of air-conditioning systems at Elmore Stoutt High School in Road Town.
Both notices are published by the BVI Government and MEYAS to support school upkeep and improve learning conditions for students and staff. For Joyce Samuel Primary School, MEYAS is seeking contractors to carry out a full installation of air-conditioning systems to improve comfort and protect student health during hot and humid periods.
A mandatory site visit for all prospective tenderers is set for Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The visit will allow bidders to assess existing conditions, confirm the scope of work, and determine required equipment, materials, and labour so they can prepare accurate and competitive proposals.
This information is provided in the Government of the Virgin Islands procurement notice. The Elmore Stoutt High School project is a separate solicitation for air-conditioner cleaning and maintenance aimed at ensuring existing systems operate efficiently and safely. According to the BVI Government press release, all interested tenderers must attend a mandatory site visit on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at 11:00 a.m. to inspect units, review the works required, and establish the resources needed for the contract.
Tender submission requirements are the same for both opportunities. Bidders must submit one (1) original and one (1) copy of the tender and all supporting documents in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the project title: either "Air Condition Installation at the Joyce Samuel Primary School" or "Elmore Stoutt High School AC Cleaning Project." Submissions should be addressed to: Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs & Sports, 2nd Floor, E.A.
Creque Building, Main Street, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110. The deadline for both tenders is Tuesday, 7 April 2026 at 12:00 p.m. As stated by the Government of the Virgin Islands, the procurement process may be annulled or any or all tenders accepted or rejected at the government’s discretion without liability.
