In line with the new Lebanon Public Procurement Law, entering into force in July 2022, the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) will be established. The PPA shall undertake the organization, supervision, control and development of proceedings, systems and performance of the public procurement in Lebanon. It shall also undertake the coordination between various procuring entities and the provision of technical support and guidance. 

The objective of the webinar iwas to briefly present good international practices on the role of the procurement authority, within context of the regulatory functions as defined in the new PPL. As the Central Tender Board is to be transformed into the PPA, a goal is to expose its staff to their future regulatory role. 

Assessing needs in capacity building to prepare for the PPL implementation, especially related to the PPA, is planned to be initiated trough discussion.
