Moreover, the Executive By-Law (EBL) was also issued in 2009 to supplement the NPL and establish the detailed procurement

Further development were also achieved in the legal, organisational, and transparency and integrity of the system, including preparation of procurement manuals, standard bidding documents, re-establishment of the High Tender Board (HTB) and Tender Committees (TCs) in more autonomous and transparent criterion, and
capacity building and training.
