What Rwanda Law No. 62/2018 of 25 August 2018 on Public Procurement and the Umucyo E-Procurement Platform requires
The Republic of Rwanda Law No. 62/2018 of 25 August 2018 governing public procurement (Itegeko No. 62/2018 ryo ku wa 25/08/2018 rigenga isoko rusange) effective 1 September 2018, as supplemented by Ministerial Order No. 001/19/10/TC of 26 February 2019 establishing the procurement procedure, and amended over time, is the principal Rwandan statute governing procurement of goods, works, services, and consultancy services by procuring entities including the Central Government ministries, Government agencies and authorities, decentralized administrative entities (Districts and Provinces), public-sector enterprises (Public Enterprises Act companies), public institutions, public-sector universities, and other entities financed by public funds. Law 62/2018 modernised the Rwandan procurement regime aligning with international best practice including the UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement and World Bank procurement guidelines. The Rwanda Public Procurement Authority (RPPA / rppa.gov.rw) is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, supplier debarment, complaint resolution at first instance, and procurement guidance. The Umucyo e-procurement platform (umucyo.gov.rw) operated by RPPA is the mandatory federal e-procurement platform for in-scope procurement. The Independent Review Panel (IRP) under the Office of the Ombudsman is the specialised body for procurement appeals. Procurement methods established by Law 62/2018 art. 26 to 49 comprise (a) Open Tendering (the default open public procedure for high-value acquisitions above prescribed thresholds), (b) Restricted Tendering (with prequalification), (c) Request for Proposals (for consulting services), (d) Request for Quotations (for medium-value goods and services), (e) Direct Procurement (sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 39 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, and prescribed-class exemptions), (f) Single-Source Procurement (for sole-supplier circumstances), (g) Force Account (for in-house performance), (h) Community Procurement (for community-driven projects), (i) Two-Stage Tendering (for complex acquisitions), and (j) Electronic Reverse Auction. The Office of the Auditor-General of State Finances conducts ex-post procurement audit. Rwanda is a party to the East African Community (EAC) Common Market Protocol, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and UNCAC. Rwanda is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).
