LAHORE: In collaboration with the Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) organized a two-day e-procurement training session for representatives of the Punjab Vocational Training Council (PVTC).

The session, held at the Training Institute in Lahore, was attended by PVTC faculty and staff, said PITB on Wednesday. The PITB e-Procurement team conducted hands-on training to familiarize participants with the e-procurement system. The interactive sessions addressed attendees' queries and equipped them with the skills to use the platform effectively.
