Public Sector entities may post their Invitations to Tender on contracts on the electronic procurement notice board. The board is not currently intended to replace advertising in the two major national newspapers, but rather to be used as a supplement. Using the board will reduce advertising costs, as entities may publish more concise advertisements in the papers, and refer interested parties to more detailed information on the board. The web site address is http://www.procurement.gov.jm.

The main purpose of the OCG is to provide resources for the Contractor-General in order that he may carry out his mandate as stated under the Contractor-General Act of 1983. These include human, administrative financial and physical resources. The OCG does not approve, endorse, recommend for award or award Government contracts. The OCG is also the secretariat for the National Contracts Commission.
