Bids & Tenders
Live tender opportunities, procurement reforms, e-GP updates, and the intelligence Uganda's supply chain community needs to bid with confidence.
Uganda's procurement landscape is being rebuilt.
Between e-GP Phase II, CSO contract monitoring, and the Auditor General's latest findings, 2026 is the year the rules change. Below is what's moving, what it means for suppliers, and where to find live opportunities.
e-Government Procurement Phase II
The government is set to launch the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) 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 interactions.
“Come July 2026, we are launching e-GP version II — enhanced and updated to address challenges 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, Procurement Policy and Management · Ministry of Finance
End-to-End Automation
Procurement planning, supplier registration, bidding, contract management, and payment processing — in one integrated flow.
Enhanced Accountability
Full traceability of every transaction, with audit trails and compliance aligned to global standards.
Seamless G2B Interaction
Standardized electronic transactions that reduce friction and cost for government-to-business engagement.
Data-Driven Decisions
Analytics and reporting 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 — it is about empowering citizens to demand accountability from duty bearers. Together, we can ensure public procurement truly delivers results.” — Benson Turamye · Executive Director · PPDA
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 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 · Executive Director · UCC
With over 70% of UCC's budget channelled through procurement, the Commission is working towards fully digitising its procurement processes. The conference is set to become an annual platform for engagement with suppliers and key stakeholders.
Auditor General's Findings
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 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
