Title
Contract Admin Manual 1Goods May2018

Introduction

Since the establishment of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) as a result of the promulgation of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) Amended, it has instituted a number of pragmatic and far-reaching initiatives aimed at ensuring maximum returns for the tax-payers’ money. Despite these laudable efforts, the annual procurement assessment conducted by the PPA in the procurement entities reveal several challenges relating to the administration of contracts awarded by most entities.
These challenges can be attributed to the absence of credible arrangements for contract administration. The observation has been that contract administration in most public procurement entities usually involve disjointed processes unfortunately resulting in poor supervision of contracts and compliance as well as missed opportunities for achieving value for money. As part of the means to address the above challenges, the PPA commissioned a firm to develop separate contract administration manuals for Goods, Works, Consulting Services and Technical Services.
