Pakistan's procurement practices are governed by a set of outdated rules and regulations while public procurement suffers from inefficiency and poor management. Guest Speaker Sheikh Afzaal Raza, an HRM Officer of the Auditor General of Pakistan having specialisation in Public Procurement Management expressed these views while addressing a training session on PPRA rules and tendering organised by Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) here on Tuesday at its conference room.

He confirmed that procuring agencies while engaging in procurements shall ensure that the procurements are conducted in a fair and transparent manner. He also highlighted World Bank recommendations in perspective of enacting a modern transparent public procurement law based on UNCITRAL Model Law for procurement.
Mian Riaz Ahmed Director General TDAP (SRO) Punjab considered the training session as a valuable knowledge orientation for the TDAP officers and hoped that TDAP would continue enhancing the capacity building of its officers which will subsequently help in exercising their potential towards the trade enhancement of the country.
