# Uganda Ministry of Works Seeks ITMS Procurement Review

The Ministry of Works and Transport in Uganda is facing scrutiny over a Shs158 billion procurement contract awarded to Joint Stock Company Global Security for the Intelligent Transport Monitoring System (ITMS). Whistleblowers have petitioned President Yoweri Museveni to halt the procurement, citing concerns about duplicate payments, lack of competitive bidding, unresolved value-for-money questions, and unclear data ownership. Multiple government oversight bodies, including the Inspectorate of Government and the Auditor General, are urged to investigate these issues. This situation highlights the importance of transparency and due diligence in large-scale IT procurements within government sectors.

- Procurement professionals should note the heightened oversight and potential delays in ITMS-related contracts in Uganda due to governance concerns.
- Contractors and vendors must be prepared for rigorous compliance and competitive bidding processes to avoid disputes and ensure contract legitimacy.
- This case underscores the critical need for clear data ownership and value-for-money assessments in technology procurements.
- Organizations involved in similar transport monitoring systems should evaluate their procurement strategies to align with best practices and oversight expectations in Uganda and comparable markets.
