The Cabinet Committee on Public Purchase (Bengali: সরকারী ক্রয় সংক্রান্ত মন্ত্রিসভা কমিটি) is the Bangladesh government's highest decision-making body regarding public procurement.[1]

History

The Cabinet Committee on Public Purchase is chaired by the Minister of Finance.[2] The committee was established in January 2019 headed by the finance minister. This voided the previous committee and effectively replaced it.[3] The finance minister also heads the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.[4]

On 25 November 2020, the Cabinet Committee on Public Purchase approved the procurement of 3.5 billion taka of fuel.[5] On 3 December 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh, the Cabinet Committee on Public Purchase approved the procurement of COVID-19 vaccine from Serum Institute of India and Beximco Pharmaceuticals.[6] On 6 January 2021, the committee approved the purchase of 250 thousand metric ton of rice, of which 100 thousand ton of rice would be imported from India.[7]
