The National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA) was established under the Public Procurement Act of 2004 to perform oversight functions and advise the Government of Sierra Leone on Public Procurement management. Public procurement is a significant means through which the government of Sierra Leone meets its development needs through the provision of physical infrastructure and the supply of essential goods and services. Public Procurement is thus a significant national development tool, the effective management of which the national oversight body considers extremely important. Since the establishment of NPPA, public procurement expenditure in Sierra Leone has increased significantly, thus bearing increasing pressure on NPPA more than ever before to perform its duties more vigorously and in a more professional manner, such that the Government of Sierra Leone could maximize its returns on public expenditures as one of the goals of the Authority is to ensure that the government of Sierra Leone spends its money wisely and delivers best value for money. Mission Statement: To regulate and monitor public procurement in Sierra Leone and to advice Government on issues relating to public procurement. Vision Statement: To ensure full compliance by all procuring entities, suppliers, contractor, consultants and other parties in public procurement with the requirement Act and its regulatory instrument.
