Roseau, Dominica January, 2019 – On 26th January 2018, the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the rebuilding and provisioning of Telecommunication and ICT Services to the Government of Dominica. The Request sought a comprehensive package of services including Telephony, Internet, Data and other ICT-related products and services to all Government facilities on the island while ensuring a robust, redundant and resilient technical infrastructure capable of ensuring business continuity after any natural disaster.
Following a highly competitive bidding process in which Five (5) companies sought the right to enter into a 15-year contractual agreement with the Government of Dominica, Digicel Dominica emerged as the winner of the Bid following a very vigorous assessment and evaluation process.
Consequently, on Monday January 14, 2019 at 2:30pm, the official Contract- signing ceremony will be held at the St. Alphonsus Parish Hall in Pottersville.
It is anticipated that His Excellency Charles A. Savarin, D.A.H. President of the Commonwealth of Dominica and Mrs. Savarin, Government Cabinet Ministers, senior public officials and Executives of Digicel will be in attendance.
The Ceremony will be carried live on the Government Information Service (GIS), DBS Radio and Kairi FM with other Media outlets expected to be present and live streaming on Facebook and Instagram.
