Business and investment
What Georgetown is buying, what it is offering, and how a business in Guyana or abroad can work with the Council. Every notice on this page was published by the Council, and nothing appears here that the Council has not put out.

When the Council issues a tender, opens a concession, offers land or invites sponsorship, it will appear in this list with its closing date. Nothing is on this page today.
