Challenging Procurement in Zimbabwe Requires Written Notice

You can fight unfair government buying decisions in Zimbabwe if you believe someone broke the rules. The law lets both active bidders and people who want to bid speak up when they face losses because an office ignored purchasing requirements.

The Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Act gives you this right to complain. When you feel mistreated, you must send a written challenge letter directly to the government office that ran the bid process. The letter starts the official review of what happened.

Courts have backed up this protection for businesses. A recent legal case between Twenty Third Century Company and the Education Ministry proved these rights exist. The judges affirmed that companies deserve fair treatment when competing for government work.

The complaint process begins with simple paperwork but creates powerful oversight. This system helps stop corruption and unfairness before contracts get signed. Any business can use this method when they spot problems with how government officials choose suppliers.
