The Public Procurement Forum is a flagship event organized by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) to bring together key stakeholders in the public procurement ecosystem for knowledge sharing, strategic dialogue, capacity building, and networking. The Forum provides a unique platform to foster collaboration and partnerships across all sectors and levels of government, thereby advancing the principles of transparency, accountability, and value for money in public procurement.
This initiative is in accordance with Section 3 (s) of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) as amended, which mandates the Authority to organize an annual consultative forum on public procurement and related matters.
In recent years, the adoption and usage of the Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS) have continued to grow. However, the Authority has observed that not all public entities have fully embraced the platform despite its numerous benefits in promoting transparency, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in procurement processes. Against this backdrop, the theme for this year’s Forum has been carefully selected as:
“GHANEPS: Enhancing Transparency, Efficiency and Effectiveness in Public Procurement.”
The 2025 Public Procurement Forum will take place on Thursday, 23rd October 2025, at the Ghana Shippers Authority Hall, Accra, commencing promptly at 9:00 a.m. The event will feature a keynote address by the Honourable Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Participation in the Forum is open to a wide range of stakeholders, including Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs); Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs); procurement professionals and consultants; development partners; private sector actors such as suppliers, contractors, and service providers; academia and research institutions; civil society organizations (CSOs); and the media.
It is our expectation that this year’s Forum will inspire meaningful dialogue, promote the exchange of innovative ideas, and generate actionable insights that will contribute to strengthening Ghana’s public procurement landscape through enhanced adoption and utilization of GHANEPS.
We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions to this important national discourse.
