Nepal Launches Updated Electronic Government Procurement System

On 3 November, the Public Procurement Monitoring Office launched the first phase of its upgraded electronic government procurement system after the previous platform had been suspended on 27 August because of security concerns. Government entities are required to publish national and international construction and goods tenders through the new platform. No separate development cost was disclosed in the announcement. The change creates opportunities for procurement consultants, cybersecurity firms and companies providing compliance services. HPC can support regulatory monitoring, tender intelligence and procurement advisory partnerships.
