Zimbabwe law defines who can buy stuff with public money. The Public Procurement Act clearly states this. Under these rules, any part of the government, including all departments and ministries across the nation, counts as a buyer.

Companies created by special laws must follow these buying rules. The government also controls many regular businesses by owning shares or appointing board members. These companies and their smaller subsidiaries fall under the same purchasing laws. Local governments must abide by these rules when they spend money.

The law covers partnerships between the government and private companies. When the state teams up with businesses for projects, they become public buyers. City councils and town authorities need to respect these purchasing guidelines. The rules apply when they want to spend taxpayer dollars on anything.

All these groups must use fair processes when buying products and services. The law makes sure public money goes through the proper channels. Every government-connected organization needs to follow the same steps. Parliament created these rules to keep spending open and honest.
