PUBLIC PROCUREMENT REFORM
Public procurement reform, pursued over the last five years, will come into force in the next financial year.
I remind this House that the Public Procurement (Amendment) Act was passed in August, 2018 and two sets of related regulations were passed in June and July, 2018.
I have requested of the Governor General that the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) and the Procurement Review Board be issued their instruments of appointment, effective April 1, 2019.
Since the launch of the Electronic Procurement System, almost all GOJ procuring entities are using the system.
The training and on-boarding of suppliers is an on going activity and many private sector industries have already been trained and are using the system
The new Public Procurement Manual (PPM) will be available by April 2019.
