The Government of the Virgin Islands (GoVI or the "Purchaser") acting through the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs & Sports (MEYAS) invites tenders for supplying School Supplies for Public Primary Schools for 2025 - 2026 Academic Year, located at Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. 

Tenders are sought on a competitive basis and all prices are subjected to detailed scrutiny. The tender, as well as all correspondences and documents relating to the tender between the Tenderer and GOVI, shall be in the English language. Supporting documents and printed literature provided by the Tenderer may be in another language but they must be accompanied by an accurate translation of the relevant passages in the English language, in which case, for the purposes of interpretation of the tender, the translation shall govern. 

GOVI, therefore, invites eligible tenderers to respond to this Request for Quotation (RFQ) and submit tenders for supplying School Supplies for Public Primary Schools for 2025-2026 Academic Year. The Goods are intended to ensure that students and teachers have the necessary resources for effective learning and teaching. As a part of this procurement process, you are required to visit the site in good time to allow you to assess the existing conditions, the requirements of the Works, and determine the equipment, materials, and labour required to complete the Works. 

The Tenderer should read these instructions carefully before completing the tender documentation. The Tender must include each of the following documents identified below, fully completed by the Tenderer together with any supporting literature required by the relevant document. The documents marked ‘Appendix’ are provided as appendices to this document. Failure to comply with any of the instructions concerning completion and submission of these documents may render (at GoVI’s absolute discretion) the Tender non-compliant.
