LAHORE: The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), in collaboration with the Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), organised a comprehensive training session on the e-procurement system for officials from divisional, district, and tehsil-level offices across the Multan division.
According to the PITB, Waqar Azim, Managing Director of PPRA, provided a detailed overview of the legal and regulatory framework governing public procurement in Punjab. The 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.
In this regard, PITB Chairman Faisal Yousaf stated that, under the directives of the Punjab government, the PITB has implemented the e-procurement system across various government departments to make the procurement process more efficient, transparent, and streamlined. Through this system, vendors from across the province and beyond can submit bids online, eliminating geographical barriers and streamlining the entire procurement cycle.
