Canon Benson Turamye highlighted that under the reservation scheme, all procurement opportunities valued at below UGX 15 billion are exclusively reserved for Ugandan providers, ensuring that local businesses directly benefit from public procurement.
For procurements valued between UGX 15 billion and UGX 45 billion, competition is open to both Ugandan providers and resident providers. Resident providers are non-Ugandan entities that have established and legally registered companies in Uganda. This approach promotes local participation while leveraging the expertise and investment of businesses operating within the country.

This week, PPDA in partnership with several anti corruption agencies including @Accu_Ug, @IGGUganda, @actionaiduganda, @tiuganda1, @ethicsug and others is participating in the Anti-Corruption Awareness Caravan across the Bunyoro Sub-region, engaging citizens and stakeholders on transparency, accountability, and the fight against corruption.
Having commenced in Kiryandongo and currently in Masindi, the team will also engage communities in Buliisa, Kikuube, and Hoima.
The Anti-Corruption Caravan seeks to foster direct engagement between accountability institutions and citizens through community dialogues, public awareness campaigns, media engagements, barazas, and joint monitoring activities. The initiative is designed to enhance public awareness on corruption prevention, strengthen citizen oversight of public services and empower communities to report cases of corruption and maladministration.

The Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) has become the first among ten selected Government entities to achieve 𝐈𝐒𝐎/𝐈𝐄𝐂 𝟐𝟕𝟎𝟎𝟏:𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 under the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP).
The internationally recognized certification, sponsored by @NITAUganda1 through UDAP under the @MoICT_Ug , confirms that PPDA has established and implemented a robust Information Security Management System aligned with global best practices.
The guest of honor at the certification handover ceremony, minister of ICT and national guidance, @JustineLumumba highlighted the certification as a key contribution to Uganda’s Digital Transformation Roadmap and cybersecurity agenda.
PPDA Executive Director @PPDA_ED also described the achievement as a major milestone in strengthening information security and institutional governance. He noted that being the first certified entity among the selected Government institutions demonstrates PPDA’s commitment to protecting procurement-related information and supporting secure digital transformation.
The certification also supports Uganda’s wider economic transformation agenda under the Tenfold Growth Strategy, which seeks to expand the economy from nearly USD 50 billion in 2023 to USD 500 billion by 2040. Public procurement is central to this agenda because it is one of the main channels through which Government implements the national budget and delivers services. Secure, efficient, and trusted procurement systems are therefore essential for improving budget performance, reducing waste, speeding up project implementation, improving accountability, and increasing returns from public investment.
NITA-U Executive Director @NITAUgandaED commended PPDA for its leadership in digital transformation.
The achievement positions PPDA as a leader in information security within the public sector and reinforces its role in promoting transparency, accountability, and trust in Uganda’s procurement system.

Kampala's slums need an urban renewal plan. We can build decent housing and infrastructure for bonafide inhabitants of the capital city. We would use the money we save from thieves.
At PPDA, we celebrate the strength, love, resilience, and dedication of all mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers and mother figures. Thank you for all that you do.
