District Opens Bids for Revenue Collection Services and Service Provider Prequalification.

The district conducted the official opening of bids for Revenue Collection Services and the Prequalification of Service Providers for the next three years, marking an important step in strengthening service delivery, accountability and value for money in public procurement.
While officiating at the exercise, Chief Administrative Officer Jude Mark Bukenya urged contractors and service providers to uphold quality standards, stressing that poor workmanship will no longer be tolerated. He noted that the district has undertaken assessments of contractor performance and that only firms with a proven track record of delivering quality work will be considered for future opportunities.
Bukenya further emphasized the importance of transparency, integrity and accountability in revenue collection, cautioning against collusion and the misappropriation of public funds. He reiterated that trading licences will no longer be contracted out and encouraged service providers to formally communicate any revenue-related concerns through his office.
He reminded bidders that the procurement process is highly competitive and encouraged unsuccessful applicants to explore other opportunities rather than challenge government decisions. He called upon contractors and revenue service providers to remain professional, accountable and committed to supporting effective government service delivery.
Speaking at the same event, Principal Procurement Officer William Mayanja urged contractors to execute contracts diligently and professionally, noting that consistent performance and adherence to contractual obligations are essential for maintaining a positive working relationship with the district.
The bid opening exercise reflects the district’s commitment to transparency, fairness and efficiency in procurement processes, while ensuring that quality service providers are engaged to support the district’s development agenda.
