Procurement Act to be amended

GOVERNMENT is in the process of amending the Procurement Act so that it is in line with developments on the technological front, Finance and Economic Development minister Patrick Chinamasa has said.

Speaking at the Buy Zimbabwe procurement conference in Harare yesterday, Chinamasa said the new legislation seeks to restrict certain procurements to national markets.

He said the amendment of the Act would render public procurement more efficient, transparent and in consonance with other policy initiatives and developments in the technological front.
