Twed Property Development Limited v Uganda Revenue Authority (Application 13 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 17 (30 June 2025)
The Tribunal set aside a procurement award to Speke Hotel (1996) Ltd, holding that mandatory post-qualification was omitted and the process had to be re-evaluated.
K-Solutions Limited v Attorney General (Civil Suit No. 122 of 2023) [2025] UGHCCD 60 (27 May 2025)
The court held that the plaintiff was required by law to exhaust the administrative remedies provided under the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act before seeking recourse in the High Court. The statutory scheme mandates that procurement disputes be addressed first through complaint to the accounting officer, then to the tribunal, and only thereafter to the High Court on questions of law. The plaintiff's failure to utilize these procedures rendered the suit incompetent. The court found that the suit was a disguised attempt to challenge a procurement decision by way of an ordi…

Roughton International Ltd and Others v Uganda Investment Authority and Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (Civil Application No. 15 of 2023) [2025] UGCA 160 (21 May 2025)
The dispositive order of the High Court was a dismissal of the applicants' request for interim protection, which did not direct any party to act or refrain from acting and was therefore a negative order not capable of execution. As such, it was not amenable to a stay of execution. The applicants failed to demonstrate vigilance in pursuing their substantive appeal or arbitration beyond initial correspondence, and the status quo had changed with the engagement of a new contractor by the first respondent. The principles governing the grant of a stay were not satisfied, particularly as execution…

Chint Meters and Electrical Uganda Company Limited v Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited and 2 Others (Application 12 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 15 (12 May 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Applicant failed to submit the mandatory samples required at bid submission, as stipulated in ITB 18.3 and the bidding documents. This omission constituted a material deviation that could not be cured by clarification or waiver, and the Evaluation Committee was legally bound to disqualify the Applicant. The Tribunal held that the clarification issued by the Respondent did not alter the scope or criteria of the requirement, and the Applicant's interpretation was unreasonable given its own price schedule descriptions. Regarding local participation and reservation req…

Mbarara City Truck Owners , Drivers and Loaders Cooperative Limited v Mbarara City Coucil (Application 9 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 11 (28 March 2025)
The Tribunal found that the applicant's administrative review application was properly before it, as the Accounting Officer failed to respond within the statutory period and did not provide guidance on payment of review fees. The Tribunal held that the Evaluation Committee was not bound by the Accounting Officer's observations regarding bid compliance, but only by the corrective measure to re-evaluate the bids. Upon review, the Tribunal determined that both the applicant and the best-evaluated bidder failed to provide proof that they were formed by truck owners and drivers within the lorry pa…

Lankaran Yol Tinkinti OJSC and Another v Ministry of Works and Transport (Application 6 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 9 (21 March 2025)
The Tribunal held that it retains jurisdiction over procurement-related complaints unless there is a clear and express conflict with Uganda's international obligations or the procurement guidelines explicitly exclude such jurisdiction. In this case, the IsDB Guidelines and the bidding documents did not make the Accounting Officer's decision final nor did they exclude recourse to the Tribunal. However, the Applicant's second complaint was filed outside the prescribed standstill period and after the expiry of its bid validity, rendering the Applicant without locus standi. The Tribunal emphasize…

SR Afrochicks and Breeders Limited v Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (Application 7 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 10 (4 March 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Respondent's Accounting Officer failed to make and communicate a decision within the statutory 10-day period, rendering the decision invalid. However, upon merits review, the Tribunal determined that the Applicant's bid was rightfully disqualified at the preliminary stage for failure to submit mandatory eligibility documents, including a valid NSSF clearance certificate, audited books of accounts for the specified years, and evidence of access to financial resources. These omissions constituted material deviations that could not be remedied post-submission. The Tri…

The High Court held that Bank of Uganda breached its statutory duty of fairness and transparency in procurement and awarded C&S Upholstery Limited UGX 200 million in general damages.
National Information Technology Authority Uganda v Gulf Africa Limited (Civil Appeal 126 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 38 (26 February 2025)
The High Court found that the impugned procurement was governed by World Bank Standard Procurement Documents and the Procurement Management Manual, which provide a complaints management procedure distinct from that under the PPDA Act. The Manual, formed under the Financing Agreement with the International Development Association, constitutes an international obligation that prevails over the PPDA Act per Section 3(1). The Manual and bidding documents only permit complaints to be addressed to the Executive Director of the appellant, with review and clearance by the World Bank, and do not provi…
