Finance Ministry Decentralizes Public Procurement Service

Africa-Press – Angola. The Ministry of Finance has said it aims to improve the inspection and supervision of public contracting entities through institutional decentralization and the establishment of regional offices for the National Public Procurement Service (SNCP).

The statement was made on Monday by the regional coordinator of the agency in the east of the country, Cândido Katerça, at a meeting to present the agency’s regional representation to members of the Lunda-Norte government.

He stressed that decentralization will speed up assistance to public contracting entities in conducting procurement processes.

“With the decentralization of services, which were previously concentrated in Luanda, we will be more dynamic in issuing opinions and memoranda, and we will be closer to public contracting entities to assist in the preparation of the instruments required to comply with the Public Contracts Law,” Katerça said.

He clarified that, in the first phase, the regional body will opt for education and training of public entities and later move on to the inspection component.

The SNCP in Angola, overseen by the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for inspecting and supervising the public procurement market, in addition to supporting the government in defining and implementing related policies and procedures.

The SNCP monitors and ensures the compliance of public procurement processes with current legislation, promoting the dissemination of information and the adoption of practices that increase transparency and efficiency in procurement processes.

The eastern regional representation comprises the provinces of Lunda Norte, Lunda Sul, Moxico, and Moxico-Leste.Regional coordination is based in the province of Lunda-Sul.
