Procurement Policy Office (PPO), Mauritius
The Procurement Policy Office (PPO) is an administrative office under Mauritius’s Ministry of Finance, established pursuant to section 4 of the Public Procurement Act 2006.
What it is
The Procurement Policy Office (PPO) is a government policy and oversight office under the aegis of the Ministry of Finance in Mauritius. The PPO's official site states it was "established pursuant to section 4 of The Public Procurement Act 2006" and describes its mission as promoting a modern and efficient public procurement system through monitoring, audits, review, capacity building and research (Source: [1]).
Legal basis and role
The PPO is an administrative body created under the Act; the Act itself remains the primary legislation. The office's stated functions include oversight, monitoring and guidance for the development and improvement of the procurement system, and objectives such as promoting competition, fairness and transparency.
Practical consequence for suppliers
Suppliers should expect PPO outputs—guidance, communiqués and published documents—to inform policy expectations, but the PPO is not a legislative authority; contractual eligibility and specific tender requirements derive from the Act, regulations and individual procuring entities' tender documents.
