PPA to Begin Nationwide Assessment of Procurement Activities in May 2026

The Public Procurement Authority (PPA) is set to launch its annual assessment of procurement activities across all public institutions in May 2026. This exercise, mandated by the Public Procurement Act, 2003, aims to enhance efficiency, accountability, and transparency in public spending.

Teams of assessors will visit government institutions to collect and examine data from the 2024 and 2025 financial years. Public entities are required to make available all relevant documents, such as procurement plans, tender evaluations, contract awards, and payment records. The assessment will also scrutinize compliance with sustainable public procurement practices.

The PPA urges full cooperation from all public entities and encourages them to seek clarification from the Compliance, Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate if needed. This initiative is a crucial step towards ensuring robust and ethical procurement processes nationwide.
