The public tender for the architectural design of the new Central Library is slated for year-end or the beginning of 2017, according to statements by Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) Director Guilherme Ung Vai Meng, news agency Lusa has reported. A public tender for the library in 2008 was subject to a Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) investigation and ended up being suspended, with the IC subsequently assuming responsibility for the project in co-operation with the Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT). The two departments have chosen not to use the previously proposed projects and will start a new public tender process.
