Construction contracts for the public sector account for $1.8 billion. Purchase of goods and services amounts to $635m. The larger purchases include disposal of sludge for water recycling plants ($70m by PUB), 2 tenders for street cleaning ($70m by NEA) and setting up of a port operations control centre ($18m by MPA).
