The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Parliament has stated that the University of Rwanda (UR) should not exclude Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or start-ups from participating in public procurement opportunities. The PAC emphasised that requiring them to have prior experience as a condition for bidding for tenders worth less than Rwf100 million is not appropriate.
This, members of PAC held, is in violation of the procurement legislation which provides that tenders with less than Rwf100 million in value are not subject to experience requirement.
MP Jean-Claude Ntezimana said most of the resources management issues in UR concern procurement, idle assets, and filling the books of accounts.
