Phase 2 4 steps

PDE Management

Register and manage Procuring & Disposal Entities (PDEs) — the government MDAs that will carry out procurement activities.

1

Register a PDE

Navigate to PDE → Register PDE. Fill in the PDE name, select the MDA (Ministry, Department, or Agency), choose the PDE type, and provide contact information.

2

View PDE List

Navigate to PDE → PDE List to see all registered PDEs. You can search, filter, and view details of each entity.

4

Manage PDE Users

Navigate to PDE → PDE Users List to view all users. You can edit user details or deactivate accounts as needed.

Phase 3 3 steps

APDP Cycle Management

Create and manage Annual Procurement & Disposal Plan (APDP) cycles — the yearly planning framework for all procurement activities.

1

Create APDP Cycle

Navigate to APDP → New Cycle. Set the cycle title, financial year, submission start and end dates, and review deadline. This defines the window during which PDEs can submit their annual plans.

2

Review Submissions

As PDEs submit their APDP entries, they appear in APDP → Approval. You can review each plan, check the details, and approve or reject them.

3

Approve / Reject

Click the action buttons on each APDP entry to approve or reject. Approved plans become available for PDE users to create procurement processes.

Phase 4 4 steps

Vendor Management

Oversee vendor registration, verify documentation, and manage the vendor database.

1

View Vendors

Navigate to Vendors List → Organizations or Individuals to see all registered vendors. The list shows their email, registration type, status, and registration date.

2

Review Documentation

Click on a vendor to review their submitted documents including business registration, tax clearance, and other compliance documents.

3

Approve / Reject

After reviewing documentation, approve or reject the vendor registration. Approved vendors can participate in procurement processes and bid on tenders.

4

Download Documents

Use the download button to retrieve vendor documents for offline review or record-keeping.

Phase 5 5 steps

Process Oversight

Monitor all procurement processes across PDEs, review evaluations, and manage contract awards.

1

View All Processes

Navigate to Processes → Process List to see all procurement processes created by PDEs across all entities.

2

Edit Process Details

Click the edit button on any process to modify its details including procurement type, dates, currency, and bid security requirements.

3

Cancel a Process

If a process needs to be cancelled, use the cancel action and provide a cancellation reason. This halts all activities related to that process.

4

Award Contract

Navigate to a process and use the "Award" action to select the winning vendor, set contract dates, and award value. The vendor receives a notification automatically.

5

View Award Details

View the contract award summary including award date, contract value, start and end dates, and the awarding administrator.

Phase 6 3 steps

Grievance Resolution

Review and resolve grievances filed by vendors regarding procurement processes or outcomes.

1

View Grievances

Navigate to Grievances to see a list of all complaints filed by vendors. Each grievance is linked to a specific procurement process.

2

Review Details

Click on a grievance to read the vendor's complaint, review associated process details, and examine any supporting information.

3

Resolve Grievance

After investigation, mark the grievance as resolved with appropriate resolution notes. The vendor is notified of the resolution.

Phase 7 2 steps

Preferences & Configuration

Configure system-wide reference data including business sectors, subsectors, and other procurement parameters.

1

Business Sectors

Navigate to Profile → Preferences → Business Sectors. Add, edit, or remove business sectors that vendors can register under.

2

Business Subsectors

Navigate to Profile → Preferences → Business Sub-sectors. Define sub-categories under each business sector for more granular vendor classification.

💡 Administrator Tips

  • Always verify PDE details before approving — once approved, linked processes become active.
  • Use the APDP Approval page to batch-review multiple submissions efficiently.
  • When awarding contracts, double-check vendor details and contract dates before finalizing.
  • Document all cancellation reasons thoroughly for audit trail compliance.
