The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) was established through the Public Procurement Act of 2021 (Cap 42:08), which came into effect on 14 April 2022. The Authority’s primary mandate is to regulate and oversee the public procurement system in Botswana by setting standards and practices that promote transparency, fairness, and value for money in the procurement of works, services, and

supplies. PPRA also monitors the performance of Procuring Entities (PEs) and enforces compliance with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2021 and its regulations. In addition, PPRA is responsible for contractor registration, capacity building, and the professionalisation of the public procurement function across government. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Board appointed by the Minister of Finance in accordance with Section 13 (1) of the Act. The Board provides strategic direction and oversight to ensure that PPRA effectively fulfils its mandate. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves as an Ex-Officio Member of the Board.
