📝 General Introduction 

In today’s digital era, e-tendering has become a strategic necessity for organizations seeking efficiency, fairness, and transparency in procurement and contracting processes. Electronic tendering not only streamlines procedures but also reduces costs, accelerates procurement cycles, and ensures equal opportunities for suppliers.

At the heart of successful e-tendering lies contractual transparency—a key pillar of good governance that fosters trust and accountability among stakeholders. This workshop is designed to empower participants with the knowledge and tools to manage e-tenders effectively while upholding the highest standards of transparency.

Through hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and interactive simulations, participants will gain practical skills to implement transparent and efficient e-tendering systems. Whether in public or private sectors, this training offers a transformative experience for professionals aiming to modernize procurement and enhance institutional integrity.
