The PPDA Act 2003 established the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA Authority / ppda.go.ug) as the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, supplier debarment, and procurement guidance.

The Auditor-General of Uganda conducts ex-post procurement audit. The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has investigative jurisdiction over procurement-related corruption. Uganda is a party to the East African Community (EAC) Common Market Protocol, AfCFTA, COMESA, and UNCAC. Uganda is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).
