As he outlined his government’s ambitious agenda for the next five years, President Dr. Irfaan Ali on Sunday emphasised his commitment to ensuring that more citizens have the opportunity to benefit from the public procurement system.

“Our procurement system will be modernised and strengthened with a tiered system to promote wider participation and ensure accountability and transparency,” President Ali told the nation during his inauguration ceremony at State House.

In the Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) manifesto, the party noted that it will continue to ensure that the public procurement system is fair, transparent, competitive, efficient, and promotes value for money.

By additional streamlining and simplification of the bidding process, “we will further democratise access to government procurement opportunities, improve both the competitiveness and fairness of the system, facilitate deepening of capacity on the supply side, and improve value for money in government procurement transactions”, the party outlines in its manifesto.
