The Public Procurement Manual (Second Edition – 2020) serves as a comprehensive guide to the public procurement processes in Sierra Leone. Developed by the National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA), the manual outlines the legal framework, procedures, and best practices for efficient, transparent, and accountable procurement across all public institutions. It is an essential reference for procurement officers, suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders involved in public sector procurement.
This Manual applies to the procurement operations of all institutions using public funds as defined in Subsection 1 of Section 1 of the Public Procurement Act 2016. In the event whereby Public Sector entities have their own specialist procurement regulations and procedures manuals relating to procurement of specialized items, which have been subjected to formal certification and approval by the National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA), the provisions of this Manual will apply when there is no conflict with procedures or standard documentation as detailed in the specialist.
