The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) operates as a parastatal organization under the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP). Its core mandate is to oversee, adjudicate, and award tenders for Central Government and other entities defined under the Act. These tenders cover the procurement of works, supplies, and related services, as well as the disposal of public assets.
In addition to tender adjudication, PPADB is responsible for the registration and grading of contractors who seek to conduct business with government institutions. This function ensures that only qualified and appropriately assessed service providers participate in public procurement processes, thereby safeguarding quality and reliability in project execution. The overarching objective is to ensure that public projects are managed prudently and that value for money is consistently achieved in all procurement and asset disposal activities.
The Board is led by an Executive Chairperson and supported by three full-time Executive Directors responsible for the Works, Services, and Supplies divisions. Operational and administrative functions are managed by the General Manager Corporate Services, who oversees finance, human resources, and the day-to-day running of the organization.
To fulfil its mandate, PPADB is empowered to promote open and competitive procurement systems aligned with national macro-economic policies. It encourages standardization to reduce costs and improve efficiency, while also fostering economies of scale in public procurement. Competition is promoted as a key mechanism for achieving value for money, alongside policies that ensure fairness and equal treatment of all contractors.
Furthermore, PPADB is committed to strengthening accountability, transparency, and integrity in procurement and asset disposal processes. These principles are essential for maintaining public confidence and ensuring that government resources are managed responsibly and effectively.
