The drive began with the appointment of Mr. Joseph Sapa as the new Acting Chief Executive Officer, swiftly followed by the formation of a new board led by the Secretary for Finance, Mr. Samuel Penias.

Key international entities, including the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Union, and the Government of New Zealand, are providing crucial support for the e-procurement system.

The workshop saw the participation of the Chairman of the NPC Board, Heads and representatives of various Public Bodies, Statutory Authorities, and State-Owned Enterprises. Additionally, representatives from international partners such as the World Bank, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the European Union (EU), and other international organizations were in attendance. The Management and Staff of the National Procurement Commission also played a crucial role in facilitating the discussions.
