The main legal act regulating the area of public procurement in Uganda is Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act (PPDA act) of 2003. The act set up the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) as the principal regulatory body for public procurement and disposal of public assets in Uganda. The amendments to the PPDA law have introduced several changes prominent of which is the strengthening and enhancement of the role of PPDA in the execution of its regulatory mandate.

The main mandate of PPDA is to:

  • ensure the application of fair ,Competitive, transparent, non-discriminatory, and value for money procurement and disposal standards and practices;
  • harmonize the procurement and disposal policy systems and practices of Central Government, Local Governments and Statutory bodies;
  • set standards for the public procurement and disposal systems in Uganda;
  • monitor compliance of procuring and disposing entities; and
  • build procurement and disposal capacity in Uganda

The website of the Government of Uganda serves as an official point of access for all procedures and information related to public procurement.
