    Another of government’s Public-Private Partnership (P3) projects dealing with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for the replacement of Her Majesty’s Penitentiary officially closed on Friday, February 16th. Only one submission was received from New Avalon Corrections Partners. The RFQ represents the first stage in a two-stage procurement process for the facility, allowing for identification of bid teams, not a proposal.

Last month, government re-issued an RFQ for the replacement of the adult correctional facility, as a result of significantly increased construction costs.
