GOVERNMENT suppliers are enjoying brisk sales as a result of e-Perolehan, the electronic procurement system developed under the Multimedia Super Corridor's e-government flagship application project.
“Some suppliers are enjoying more than 40% increase in sales, some even more than 100%,” according to a statement issued at the e-Perolehan Consumer Day in Putrajaya. The e-Perolehan Consumer Day, held at the Finance Ministry building in Putrajaya, was opened by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is also Finance Minister.
The statement said that apart from higher sales, e-Perolehan had helped government suppliers run their businesses more effectively and efficiently and had helped to reduce their operating costs.
Monthly transactions on e-Perolehan had risen to a high of RM12.61mil in September from RM305,584 in January.
