Article 239 of the treaty of Chaguaramas requires member states to elaborate a protocol relating to government procurement. The Community Protocol on Public Procurement was approved by the Conference of Heads of Government at its 30th Inter- Sessional Meeting held in St. Kitts and Nevis in February 2019. Member states are now required to sign the declaration of provisional application. The Government of Saint Lucia has passed procurement legislation which is in harmony with the provisions of the CARICOM protocol hence there are no onerous requirements associated with adopting the provisions of this protocol. The public is invited to view the protocol and procurement stakeholders are to be advised of its provisions. Concerns and queries on this Protocol can be addressed to public.procurement@govt.lc
