The PPDA Act 2003 established the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA Authority / ppda.go.ug) as the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, supplier debarment, and procurement guidance. The Uganda Electronic Government Procurement Portal (egpuganda.go.ug / e-GP) operated by PPDA Authority is the federal e-procurement platform under rollout. The Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Appeals Tribunal handles procurement appeals. Procurement methods established by PPDA Act 2003 sec. 80 to 99 comprise (a) Open Domestic Bidding (the default open public procedure for domestic acquisitions above prescribed thresholds), (b) Open International Bidding (for cross-border acquisitions), (c) Restricted Domestic Bidding (with prequalification), (d) Restricted International Bidding (with prequalification, cross-border), (e) Quotations Procurement (for low-value goods and services), (f) Direct Procurement (sole-source under prescribed exceptions in sec. 84 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed bidding, additional procurement under existing contract, and prescribed-class exemptions), (g) Micro Procurement (for very-low-value), (h) Request for Proposals (for consulting services), and (i) Framework Contracting. The Auditor-General of Uganda conducts ex-post procurement audit. The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has investigative jurisdiction over procurement-related corruption. Uganda is a party to the East African Community (EAC) Common Market Protocol, AfCFTA, COMESA, and UNCAC. Uganda is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).",
