An RFQ is a formal request for pricing on specific goods or services. The contractor has defined their requirements and is seeking competitive quotes. Your response should include detailed pricing, delivery timelines, and any terms and conditions.
Under Section 22 of the Local Content Act 2021, contractors in Guyana's petroleum sector must give first consideration to Guyanese suppliers registered on the Local Content Register. This is a legal requirement, not a preference.
To respond, visit the original notice link and follow the submission instructions. Ensure your company has an active Local Content Secretariat (LCS) certificate. Include your LCS registration number in your response to demonstrate your first-consideration eligibility.
Guyanese-owned companies registered on the Local Content Register are eligible for first consideration. Companies must hold a valid LCS certificate and demonstrate capability to deliver the required goods or services. Foreign companies may bid but must demonstrate that no qualified Guyanese supplier is available.

Legal Framework
Local Content Act 2021
Under Section 22 of the Local Content Act 2021, contractors must evaluate Guyanese suppliers first before considering foreign companies. This means local bids are reviewed and assessed before any international options are explored. Contractors must document this process and report it to the Local Content Secretariat.
While not always required at the EOI/RFI stage, having an active Local Content Secretariat (LCS) certificate significantly strengthens your bid. For formal tenders (RFQ, RFP, ITT), an LCS certificate is typically required to qualify for first-consideration status. You can apply for certification through the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Contractors must follow fair and equitable evaluation criteria as defined in Section 23. Bids are typically assessed on technical capability, pricing, delivery timeline, and local content compliance. Contractors must report their procurement decisions in half-yearly reports to the Secretariat.
Non-compliance with the Local Content Act can result in penalties ranging from GY$1 million to GY$50 million per offence. The Local Content Secretariat actively audits contractor procurement reports and investigates complaints from suppliers who believe they were unfairly bypassed.
