Public Procurement Regulatory Authority has launched the pilot phase of Pakistan’s first E-Disposal Module under the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System. This initiative is a step forward in digitizing the public procurement ecosystem, offering a dedicated system to manage the disposal of government assets and support the privatization process. The inauguration ceremony took place at the Project Management Unit EPADS in Islamabad, where Managing Director Hasnat Ahmed Qureshi formally initiated the pilot implementation.

The pilot is being carried out in collaboration with Pakistan Customs and the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, which have now begun mandatory use of the e-Disposal platform from July 1, 2025. This early implementation will serve as the testing ground ahead of the system’s full-scale adoption across all federal agencies by December 2025. The platform is designed to standardize and automate disposal activities within the public sector, making processes more transparent and efficient.

To support the system’s rollout, a three-day training session was conducted for selected Master Trainers. A total of 26 officials from the two participating institutions attended the training. This capacity-building exercise aimed to equip officials with the required operational knowledge to implement the module effectively and to provide insights for further system improvement. Hasnat Ahmed Qureshi praised the efforts of the Project Management Unit team and encouraged attendees to engage actively with the platform and offer feedback based on their user experience.

During his remarks, Qureshi underscored the importance of continuous innovation in public sector systems, noting that the feedback from this pilot phase would play a vital role in refining the module before broader deployment. He also reaffirmed that the initiative aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision for Digital Pakistan and represents part of a wider national transformation towards e-governance.

EPADS, the broader system under which the e-Disposal module operates, is already functional across 8046 procuring agencies at both the federal and provincial levels. It connects over 32,000 registered suppliers and serves as a digital backbone for public procurement activity. In the fiscal year 2024–25, government procurements worth Rs. 748 billion were completed through the system, while an additional Rs. 2,602 billion worth of procurements remain in process.

Also present at the launch were Project Director PMU Sheikh Afzaal Raza and Senior Specialist for Training and Capacity Building Atique Sultan Raja, along with their teams. Their participation reinforced the collaborative effort being made to ensure the smooth execution and refinement of the new disposal system. Through this pilot, PPRA is moving toward a more transparent and accountable framework for managing government-owned assets, with technology playing a central role in operational efficiency.
