Abstract

The long awaited Public Procurement Bill was finally published in February 2020 and was intended to streamline the public procurement regulatory system. The aim was to regulate public procurement in one Act in order to remove the challenges and difficulties caused by the current fragmented regulatory system. This paper aims to address how the Bill regulates infrastructure procurement, identifies certain gaps in the Bill, and makes recommendations for improvement.
