Public Procurement In Ghana-Focus On Single Source Procurement

Public Procurement in Ghana is regulated by the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) as amended by the Public Procurement (Amendment) Act, 2016 (Act 914) (referred to as the "PPA Act").

The PPA Act applies to the procurement of goods, works and services financed in whole or in part from public funds; the disposal of public stores, vehicles and equipment; procurement with public funds including loans procured by government, grants, foreign aid and internally generated funds. All government agencies and institutions in which the Government of Ghana has a major stake are under an obligation to comply with the Act.

The Public Procurement Authority (PPA) is the regulatory body responsible for the effective implementation of public procurement laws in Ghana. The PPA is mandated to ensure fairness, transparency and non-discrimination in public procurement in Ghana.
