03 July -- The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) has made public the names of companies to compete for three rehabilitation projects of public buildings in the East Timorese town of Bacau, where construction is due to start before 24 July.
A total of 11 companies -- two foreign-owned and nine Timorese -- will compete for tenders on projects designed by a Timorese architect for the rehabilitation of Bacau's prison administration office, court building and Prosecutor's Office, according to a statement released Saturday by the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET).
UNOPS has also made public the names of 18 companies -- of which 13 are Timorese -- selected to compete for the reconstruction of four public buildings in the capital: the Employment Service Centre, the Court of Appeal, the Prosecutor's Office and the Education Store House, the statement said.
In other developments, a bag containing clothes, jewellery, a machete and human bones, among other items, was found in a well in Guico, Liquica district, on 29 June, and transferred to Dili for forensic examination. The jewellery and machete have been identified as belonging to three different persons who disappeared following the Liquica massacre in April 1999, UNTAET said.
