The Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe creates lists of people who can serve on review panels. They keep these lists at their main office, where anyone can look at them for free during regular business hours. These panels play an important role when companies question decisions about government purchases or contracts.

When the Authority forms a review panel, they must follow the rules in section 75 of the Public Procurement Act. Companies can fight back if the panel members weren't chosen correctly from the official lists. The High Court supported this right in a recent case between the Twenty-third Century and the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund.

Any business unhappy with how the government awarded a contract can ask for a review. The panel members who hear these complaints need proper qualifications and appointments. If they weren't selected according to legal requirements, the courts can completely overturn their decisions.

Money spent by government offices must follow strict rules to ensure fairness. Review panels help catch mistakes or unfair treatment during purchasing processes. The Authority maintains these panels to protect both taxpayers and businesses who want to sell products or services to government agencies in Zimbabwe.
