The objective of government procurement of inputs (goods, works, and services) is to ensure the quality, economy, efficiency, transparency, fairness, and timeliness of the acquisition of inputs. Good procurement allows the government to fulfill its obligations to citizens and visitors to the country. It is always good to purchase the right quality materials, at the right time, in the right quantity, from the right source, and at the right price.

PPCC Boss Secures Additional Funding to Modernize Public Procurement in Liberia.
The head of Liberia’s Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC), Bodger Scott Johnson, has secured additional funding of US$250,000(Two Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) from the World Bank to support the ongoing public procurement digitization effort in Liberia.
The PPCC boss made the breakthrough while attending the 2024 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Funds (IMF) and World Bank Group (WBG) in the United States of America. During these engagements, Mr. Johnson met and held high level discussions with senior World Bank officials, including the Regional Country Manager for Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia. This Year’s Spring Meetings were held from April 17 to 19, 2024.
The additional funding is intended to augment the initial budget of US$2.9 Million approved by the World Bank through the Governance Reform and Accountability Transformation (GREAT) Project, to support the roll-out of the Electronic Government Procurement(e-GP) system and increase transparency and accountability in the government procurement system through the implementation of e-GP system, with a focus on strengthening procurement capacity at the county level.
The roll-out will include interfaces with the business registration system to verify supplier status, an SMS notifications gateway for confirmations, e-tax payments, a gateway system to verify the attestation related to tax status, and to the Integrated Financial Management Information System(IFMIS) based in the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning(MFDP).
The project will also finance the roll out of the e-Procurement system to a select number of government institutions, including County Service Centers, and also finance the development of a sustainable procurement policy and implementation road-map, procurement regulations, manuals, and standard procurement documents.
As part of the arrangement, the project will also finance capacity building and change management for compliance implementation monitoring and green procurement, as well as support the supply of Information Technology equipment and peripherals, website updates, workshops and seminars for stakeholders.
In November 2023 the Public Procurement and Concessions Commission(PPCC), signed a contract with a software developer, European Dynamics for the supply, installation, configuration, deployment and maintenance of Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) System on Software as a Service (SAAS) Model. The contract represents Phase One of the project valued at at Five Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand and Five Hundred United States Dollars (US$ US$563,500.00). This phase constitutes the development, installation, configuration and deployment of the system to six selected institutions of the Liberia Government. This phase of the project is also funded by the World Bank through the Public Financial Management Reforms for Institutional Strengthening Project (PFMRSP) based in the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP). The PFMRSP project is expected to end in October 2024 but will be succeeded by the GREAT project.
Imposition of harsh loan conditions worsens Economic Instability 
PPCC Boss ties harsh Loan conditions to Economic Instability
The head of Liberia’s Public Procurement and Concessions Commission, Bodger Scott Johnson, says the imposition of harsh conditions by International Monetary Fund (IMF) while offering loans to developing countries is largely responsible for the worsening economic instability in Africa.
Mr. Johnson accentuated that the imposition of such conditionalities is leading to long-term dependency with potential consequences on sustainable development and increased hardship for the poor in Africa and other developing countries in the World. He cited the harmonization program in Liberia as a classic example of effects associated with the imposition of harsh conditions when offering loans. The IMF conditionality for Asian countries is quite different from African countries, for example the IMF request Asian countries to increase taxes and low spending, while the request for African countries is harmonization of wages, creating hardship for African countries.
Drawing from his experience on the implementation of Liberia’s Public Procurement Reform Agenda, Mr. Johnson mentioned the ongoing public procurement modernization effort in Liberia, and how such effort seeks to address corruption in public procurement and delivery of basic services to the people and country. He explained that Liberia has configured, tested and rolled-out the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) System to six public sector institutions, and is in the process of deploying the System to 50 additional institutions through the support of the World Bank.
The e-GP System is an innovative public procurement enabler designed to enhance transparency, increase efficiency & effectiveness, and restore public confidence in the procurement processes, with the ultimate goal of ensuring best value for public money.
The PPCC boss made the assertions when he delivered a presentation at the high-level seminar organized by the IMF Legal Department and IMF AFRICTAC 2 in Accra, Ghana, from April 8-10, 2025. The Seminar was organized to support continued progress in improving governance and rule of law, promote constructive exchange and engagement in leading and developing well-governed institutions capable of effectively addressing macro-critical corruption vulnerabilities and rule of law deficiencies.
Drawn from different countries and sectors, the delegates at this Year’s IMF Seminar shared their experiences and highlighted success stories from the region while at the same time discussed responses that allow them to deepen their analytical skills and develop concrete approaches to addressing corruption.
In continuation of the Public Procurement and Concessions Commission-PPCC visitation to the initial six Ministries, Agencies, and Commissions (MACs ), earmarked for the piloting phase of the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) System, the Project Technical Team led by its Chief Executive Officer, Hon. Bodger Scott Johnson visited the Ministry of Public Works-Republic of Liberia, the Ministry of States for Presidential Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning to provide adequate awareness on the implementation of the project.
These MACs include:
Ministry of States for Presidential Affairs
Liberia Revenue Authority
Ministry of Health, Republic of Liberia
