The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board's (PPADB) newly formulated five-year strategic plan, covering the period 2013/14 to 2017/18, aims to eliminate conflicting roles within the organisation.

Amongst the conflicting roles the PPADB undertakes are procurement processing (tender vetting and adjudication), serving as an appeals body, and playing an oversight role.

PPADB Executive Chairperson Bridget John said at the launch of the strategy that the organisation aims to resolve the issues in the current plan through a staged process of devolution at the beginning of the plan period, and transformation to a regulatory authority, subject to the approval of government.
