PPADB

The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) was established by an Act of Parliament as an independent authority responsible for overseeing, coordination and management of procurement of public works, supplies, services and disposal of assets.

The core function of PPADB is to monitor compliance and adherence to the Public Procurement Norms by the Procuring Entities of the Government of Botswana. Its functions include registration of Contractors, vetting of ITTs, adjudication of bids, building capacity of the people involved in the process of procurement and resolution of disputes.

In order to achieve faster cycle times in the delivery of its services, PPADB has decentralized its role by forming of committees at Ministry level and at District level. The committees formed at Ministry level are called MTCs and the committees formed at District level are called DATCs. It is the strategy of PPADB to overtime devolve its authority and increase the thresholds of MTCs and DATCs to adjudicate on the process of procurement and take decisions.

At present, most of the core functions of the PPADB and its committees are performed manually, including documents storage and retrieval. The lack of appropriate systems at PPADB and its committees is leading to longer cycle time in vetting of ITTs and adjudication of bids, which has a negative impact on the overall procurement cycle time and delivery of Government services to citizens.
