Overview
Establish comprehensive procurement reform with independent verification, revised awarding mechanisms, and real-time transparency.
Problem Statement
Public procurement faces systemic challenges including unverified requirements, biased specifications, and flawed awarding systems that favor lowest bidders over quality.
Key Points

- Independent bid document verification through third-party audits
- Mean-based awarding system instead of automatic lowest-bidder selection
- Upgraded PPMO e-GP system for all contracts above Rs. 500,000
- Real-time publication and public project tracking dashboard
- Performance bonds and automatic debarment for repeat violations
