The recognition was from PPDA in partnership with Infrastructure Transparency Initiative Uganda at the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Public Procurement Performance Review Forum that took place at Mestil Hotel last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Ayota NSSF Deputy Managing Director, attributed the win to the Fund\u2019s continuous effort in refining its procurement process to ensure that they get value for money in all procurements made, in a transparent manner. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe automated our procurement process in 2018 and are since working on enhancements with a dedicated in-house procurement unit to further improve the process in line with the law. This recognition is therefore testament to the Fund\u2019s deliberate effort to be transparent in its operations and compliant with the regulatory environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recognition follows an impressive public procurement rating obtained by the Fund last month where it was ranked as one of the best performing public entities with a rating of 89.3%, higher than last year\u2019s score of 88%, by the Public Procurement &amp; Disposal Authority (PPDA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerald Mugabi, NSSF Head of Procurement said that the above achievements affirmed that the Fund\u2019s procurement strategy is on the right path. \u201cA decade ago the Fund\u2019s Procurement processes were among the worst performing areas characterized by stalled projects on account of either incomplete procurement process or administrative appeals to PPDA based on allegations of unfairness or outright failure of the Fund to follow regulations. With our new strategy, the story has now changed.\u201d&nbsp; He added, \u201cSince 2015, PPDA has consistently ranked the Fund among the best performing public entities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These achievements are further evidenced by the successful execution of major real estate projects of the Fund that include Lubowa Housing project, Pension Towers, Jinja City House, Mbarara City House among others. The massive investment in real estate enhanced by timely procurements will increase return on member\u2019s savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Social Security Fund has been recognized as the Most Compliant Entity in public disclosure of information in Procurement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65,67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-business-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/byaru.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4485,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/uganda-civil-aviation-authority-answers-issues-raised-by-members-of-the-parliaments-committee-on-statutory-authorities-and-state-enterpriseses-cosase-in-arua\/","url_meta":{"origin":2318,"position":0},"title":"UGANDA CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY ANSWERS ISSUES RAISED BY MEMBERS OF THE PARLIAMENT\u2019S COMMITTEE ON STATUTORY AUTHORITIES AND STATE ENTERPRISESES \u2013COSASE IN ARUA","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"November 8, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"The Management of Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCCA) has come out to clarify on a number of \u00a0issues \u00a0which\u00a0 have been presented out context \u00a0by the media following the organization\u2019s interaction with Members of the Public Accounts Committee of the Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) in Arua.
