In the period, a total of 28,202 projects recorded actual procurement of Bt243.54 billion, compared with the budget Bt272.27 billion.
E-markets for public projects also saved 18.35 per cent or Bt50 billion.
“E-bidding and e-markets have been used for state procurement in order to enhance efficiency of the nation’s state spending, increase project transparency and boost private-sector competitiveness,” said Manas Jamveha, comptroller-general.
The procurement results and contracts are also registered systematically.
