This, the CILT Ghana said would ensure their credibility.

The CILT Ghana said it is available to offer its knowledge in the logistics, supply chain and transport sectors to any of the MDAs that may require it to serve on its Entity Tender Committees.

The Reverend Godwin Mensah, President of CILT Ghana, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra, congratulated the government in the passing into law the amended procurement law (Act 914).

“CILT Ghana specifically would like to appreciate the invaluable roles played by bodies such as Public Procurement Authority, Parliament, various organisations and individuals who submitted memoranda to enrich the document and most importantly its assent by His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana,” he said.

Rev Mensah said CILT Ghana has taken notice of a number of innovative insertions into the law such as sustainable procurement, upward review of the procurement thresholds, contract framework, e-procurement and reconstitution of the Entity Tender Committees to include professional bodies, among others.

He expressed the hope that hope that that the inclusion of professional bodies to serve on the Entity Tender Committees would add value to the procurement process as these bodies would bring their expertise on board.
