The Central Procurement Board of Namibia (CPBN) on Friday announced that it is currently seeking a chief executive officer (CEO) to lead the organisation for the next five years.
This was confirmed by CPBN spokesperson Johanna Kambala.
Kambala said the need for a CEO has arisen due to the recent amendment of the Public Procurement Act, which revoked the dual responsibility of the chairperson, who also served as the administrative head of the organisation.
Amon Ngavetene, who was appointed as a board member by finance and public enterprises minister, Iipumbu Shiimi on 1 March 2021, has been serving as the acting chairperson and administrative head of CPBN since the expiry term of the former chairperson Patrick Swartz on 31 March 2022.
“Once the CEO is appointed, Ngavetene will continue to serve as a board member for the remainder of his term,” Kambala told The Namibian.
The CPBN was established in 2017 with the primary mandate to conduct the bidding process on behalf of public entities for the awarding of contracts for procurement or disposal of assets that exceed the threshold prescribed for public entities.
The successful candidate for the CEO position will be responsible for providing leadership and direction to the organisation, as well as ensuring that the CPBN operates efficiently and effectively.
Interested candidates can obtain more information about the position and application requirements from the CPBN website.
The deadline for submitting applications is 19 May.
The recruitment process is managed by Elite Employment Consultancy.
