PPRA registration is how a company becomes eligible to bid for many public procurement opportunities in Botswana. Without the right codes, you often cannot submit — or you submit and lose on a technicality.
This series walks the stack the way we teach it: what PPRA is, how it differs from CIPA and BURS, how codes work, then services, supplies and works with real fee examples. Fees and rules change; confirm current schedules before you pay.
Four categories
- Services 100–199 — work you perform for a client
- Supplies 200–299 — goods you sell or deliver
- Consultancy 300–399 — professional advice and specialist judgement
- Works 01–15 — construction, installation, physical engineering
Drawn to spec: name the category that matches what the buyer is purchasing, not what sounds impressive. Next: how PPRA sits beside company, tax and trade licences.
