Training session on e-procurement system held

LAHORE:The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) in collaboration with the Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) Friday organised a training and feedback session on e-Procurement System for officials of divisional, district, and tehsil-level across the Gujranwala division.

The session was aimed at building capacity among government officials and ensure smooth adoption of the e-Procurement system, which is being implemented across the province to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in public procurement.

PPRA Managing Director Waqar Azim provided a detailed overview of the legal and regulatory framework governing public procurement in the province. PITB’s e-Procurement team conducted hands-on training across various modules of the system and actively engaged participants through interactive Q\A sessions and feedback collection. The e-Procurement system, developed by PITB, leverages modern technology to facilitate secure, paperless, and efficient procurement. It allows vendors from across the province—and beyond—to submit bids online, eliminating geographical barriers and streamlining the entire procurement cycle.

In this regard, PITB Chairman Faisal Yousaf stated, “The digitisation of public procurement is a transformative step towards good governance. PITB’s e-Procurement system brings efficiency, fairness, and accountability into government purchasing processes. Through such training sessions, we aim to ensure seamless adoption of the system across Punjab and empower officials with the tools they need to lead the shift to digital governance.”
