The Public Procurement Authority (PPA), wishes to bring to the attention of the general public the operations of some unscrupulous persons under the guise of:
- The Tender Board, Office of the Presidency, Republic of Ghana –www.tenderboard-gh.org
- Ghana Procurement Service –www.ghanaprocurementservices.com
Purporting to have been set up by the Government of Ghana, to provide offsite procurement outsourcing solutions, and awarding contracts on behalf of the Government of Ghana.
We are by this notice alerting you of their dealings and advising that no purported contract awards from such organizations should be entertained. Please be advised that Contracts in Ghana are awarded only after an exhaustive tendering process in which the awardees are expected to have participated. Such Tender notices are also put out by the individual Entities and not a Central Agency on behalf of Ghana Government.
Others modus operandi is that, they purport to be officials of the PPA. They randomly call people on the phone by promising and guaranteeing them of government contracts.
Thus, members of the General Public are hereby cautioned to be wary of such scammers and disregard any correspondence ostensibly coming from the above-listed institutions and persons.
The PPA is a creation of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) as amended mandated to regulate, assess and ensure full compliance by entities to all the provisions of the Act. It does not undertake procurement on behalf of entities but rather seeks to build their capacities to enable effective implementation of the Act.
