PPCC Sets to Onboard Additional MACs to e-GP System
Monrovia, Liberia – The Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC) has announced the onboarding of 50 additional government institutions into Liberia’s Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system, marking a major step in the country’s ongoing digital procurement reform.
The Ministries, Agencies, and Commissions (MACs) engaged in this latest phase will join the six public entities already using the e-GP platform to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability in procurement processes.
Welcoming participants during the engagement, Mr. Himmie E. Langford, Acting Executive Director of the PPCC, urged entities to embrace the system and serve as champions of the digital transformation. He emphasized that the platform has the potential to revolutionize public procurement in Liberia.
Representing the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning’s Governance Reform and Economic Assistance Transformation (GREAT) Project, Mr. Lamine Kamara commended PPCC for the progress made and encouraged MACs to take the onboarding process seriously to ensure its success.
In a detailed presentation, Mr. Ezekiel O. Obazele, e-GP Project Manager, highlighted the platform’s achievements to date:
- More than 494 vendors trained and registered
- Over 127 procurement processes live on the platform
- 155 trained users across six pilot MACs
- Ongoing weekly training sessions and a fully operational Helpdesk.
According to Mr. Obazele, the system is not only improving transparency and efficiency but also strengthening supplier confidence and positioning Liberia as a regional leader in digital procurement reform. He further explained that the platform is integrated with key national systems, including the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), NASSCORP, Liberia Business Registry (LBR), and the National Payment Gateway, ensuring robust authentication and verification.
Looking ahead, PPCC outlined its next priorities, which include:
- Onboarding 50 additional procuring entities
- Integrating with the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) and the Liberia Business Registry System (LBRS)
- Conducting performance audits to ensure compliance
- Institutionalizing change management and continuous capacity building
“Digital transformation is more than technology; it is about people, processes, and a shared commitment to excellence. When people are empowered, technology delivers,” Mr. Obazele emphasized.
Participants at the event applauded PPCC for its bold leadership and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the Commission in transforming Liberia’s public procurement landscape.
With this onboarding phase, Liberia is taking a decisive step toward modernizing its procurement framework, ensuring value for money, and strengthening good governance.
