CPTU - Central Procurement Technical Unit has been established under Ministry of Planning, Government of Peoples Republic of Bangladesh. The CPTU is a permanent institution of the Government, funded under the revenue budget, that will be sustained after the project period. The CPTU will be responsible for carrying out the Public Procurement Reform Project (PPRP) following the recommendations of the Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR). CPTU will have no procurement/contracting functions at any level except for its own needs. The unit may provide technical/professional advice on generic procurement issues referred to it, but shall not get involved or provide opinion in any specific procurement evaluation or contract award, thus preserving its pristine role as a policy, technical assistance, training and oversight unit.
