With the participation of 14 contracting companies, the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) held the pre-procurement and approval meeting as part of the Best Value Tender process for the maintenance of the David–Boquete highway in the province of Chiriquí. The objective of this meeting, held virtually, was to provide a space for participants to ask questions and make comments regarding the Statement of Objections in order to ensure a transparent and equal process for all bidders. The David–Boquete Highway, approximately 36 kilometers long , is a key route for connectivity and socioeconomic development in the region, facilitating access to basic services such as health centers, schools, and agricultural production areas.
