Mary Lou Par­boo-Ram­sumair and Kalisha Clement-Skeete have joined Queen’s Hall as part of its man­age­ment team.

Par­boo-Ram­sumair has joined as Su­per­vi­sor of Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment while Clement-Skeete is the Le­gal Of­fi­cer I.

“These ap­point­ments are part of our strate­gic plan to en­sure that we have the ca­pac­i­ty to re­main com­pli­ant to all Gov­ern­ment reg­u­la­tions and pro­vide qual­i­ty ser­vice to the na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty. In par­tic­u­lar, the Of­fice of Pro­cure­ment Reg­u­la­tion,” said Garfield George, Gen­er­al Man­ag­er at Queen’s Hall. “Mary Lou and Kalisha came on board specif­i­cal­ly for this pur­pose.”

The Of­fice of Pro­cure­ment Reg­u­la­tion’s (OPR) man­date is to reg­u­late pub­lic pro­cure­ment, re­ten­tion, and dis­pos­al of pub­lic prop­er­ty through mon­i­tor­ing and en­force­ment to pro­mote best prac­tices. All State En­ti­ties must ad­here to OPR reg­u­la­tions. Queen’s Hall is no ex­cep­tion since it is a Statu­to­ry State Board.

“We are get­ting clos­er to full com­pli­ance with the OPR Act, which was pro­claimed in April 2023. So far, we are 75 per cent ac­com­plished. We have reg­is­tered with the OPR and we are al­so pre­qual­i­fied as a ven­dor,” George said. “Now, with Mary Lou and Kalisha on the team we are clos­er to com­ple­tion.’
