e-Government Procurement (e-GP) Phase II
The government is set to launch the Electronic Government Procurement (eGP) Phase II in July 2026. The enhanced system automates the end-to-end procurement life cycle – from planning and supplier registration to bidding, contract management, and payment processing – ensuring seamless Government-to-Business (G2B) interactions.
"It is our pleasure as a government that come July 2026, we are launching eGP version II, which is enhanced and updated to address challenges that we have been facing in the manual paper-dominated procurement system. We have done that re-engineering to address efficiency, accountability, traceability, and compliance with global standards."
— Mr. Isaac Kyaligonza, Commissioner and Head of Procurement Policy and Management, Ministry of Finance
Key Features of e-GP Phase II
End-to-End Automation
From procurement planning and supplier registration to bidding, contract management, and payment processing.
Enhanced Accountability
Full traceability of all procurement transactions with audit trails and compliance with global standards.
Seamless G2B Interactions
Standardized electronic transactions ensuring smooth Government-to-Business interactions and reduced costs.
Data-Driven Decisions
Analytics and reporting capabilities for better procurement planning, supplier risk assessment, and resource allocation.
PPDA Contract Monitoring System
The Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) has onboarded the Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda (ACCU) and the Uganda Debt Network (UDN) onto its Contract Monitoring System (CMS).
"The involvement of Civil Society Organizations in contract monitoring is not just about oversight, but about empowering citizens to demand accountability from duty bearers. Together, we can ensure that public procurement truly delivers results."
— Benson Turamye, PPDA Executive Director
Developed with support from GIZ Uganda, the CMS allows real-time monitoring of government contract implementation, eliminating shoddy works, ghost payments, and abandoned projects. Through the PPDA–CSO–PDE Engagement Framework, first established in 2019, PPDA has already partnered with 28 CSOs across Uganda.
UCC Suppliers' Conference
The Uganda Communications Commission held its inaugural Suppliers' Conference under the theme "Expanding business opportunities through procurement excellence."
"The fact that you have come out in such good numbers for an engagement that is not centred on bidding, but on dialogue, partnership and shared growth, says a lot about your mindset."
— Nyombi Thembo, UCC Executive Director
With over 70% of UCC's budget channelled through procurement, the Commission is working towards fully digitising its procurement processes by the end of the year. The conference is poised to become an annual platform for engagement with suppliers and other key stakeholders.
Auditor General's Procurement Audit
The 2024/25 Annual Audit Report highlighted persistent procurement irregularities, including cost variations of up to 100% for similar goods and services, unplanned procurements, and incomplete multi-year procurement plans.
"While digitisation of procurement through the Electronic Government Procurement (EGP) System is underway, some entities still conduct procurements outside the system. Challenges such as system access, data duplication, and reporting limitations persist."
— Edward Akol, Auditor General
