The current online procurement modules are based on the Procurement Guidelines for CDB-financed projects approved prior to November 2019. This self-paced learning includes three modules:
- Introduction to Procurement on Projects Financed by the Caribbean Development Bank;
- Selecting and Engaging Consultants and Procurement of Goods; and
- Works and Non-Consultancy Services.
