How procuring entities undermine PPADB

This goes unpunished as the PPADB only advises such organisations to do better. While all rejected submissions are passed on to the Ministry of Finance, it is not all who get paid.

Section 44 (2) and (3) of the PPAD Act as read with Section 3 of the PPAD (Retroactive Approvals) Order of 2012 states that the Board may by resolution; approve, retroactively, a bid or invitation to tender issued by a procuring or a disposing entity where the job to be performed by a selected contractor or the service to be provided by a selected service provider is urgent and necessary - (a) to protect life; or (b) to protect the environment. Despite this, through notices from the Board published weekly, requests for retroactive approvals not in line with the above cited provisions keep coming. While PPADB public relations and education manager, Charles Keikotlhae says the requests are not many, for the few that are requested, the Board continuously encourages Procuring Entities (PEs) to follow the procedure.
