KUANTAN, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- The Pahang state government has formally marked the adoption of a centralised electronic procurement platform as part of its broader governance transformation agenda. The move aligns with the objectives set out under Pelan Digital Pahang 2021–2025, which guides the state’s broader digitalisation efforts to improve government service delivery, operational efficiency and governance outcomes. The transition was formalised at the official statewide launch of the ePPHG (electronic procurement Pahang) system held in Kuantan, Pahang, attended by senior state officials and agency representatives. The system was officiated by Dato' Indera Haji Fadzilla Bin Haji Salleh, the State Financial Officer of Pahang, signalling the administration’s commitment to institutional reform through system-led procurement governance.

The move addresses long-standing challenges associated with fragmented procurement processes, manual workflows and uneven compliance practices that increasingly constrained governance oversight. By consolidating procurement activities onto a single digital platform, Pahang is positioning itself to exercise stronger oversight and improve audit readiness across its public sector operations.

The ePPHG platform manages the full procurement lifecycle, including direct purchases, quotations, tenders, bidding, contract management and supplier administration, while embedding policy-aligned workflows and approval controls designed to strengthen compliance, enforce procedural discipline and reduce dependence on discretionary manual intervention. The platform also broadens access to state procurement by enabling more transparent participation across a wider supplier base, including smaller and regional vendors.

The system was developed and is currently maintained by CDC International Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian digital procurement and enterprise solutions provider. The implementation utilises the SPEED (Sistem Perolehan Elektronik Dinamik) platform, which is in use across statutory bodies, institutions and organisations nationwide to support governance-driven procurement operations in diverse public sector and institutional environments.

Speaking at the launch, Putri Nurul Ida Yahya, Chief Executive Officer of CDC International, said the adoption of ePPHG reflected a deliberate governance choice by the Pahang state government. “The implementation of ePPHG is best viewed as a governance investment, not merely a process upgrade. CDC International’s role extends beyond system delivery, with a focus on supporting governance continuity as procurement frameworks evolve,” she said.

Following the successful completion of a pilot phase in Q4 2025, the ePPHG system has been fully rolled out across all Pahang state agencies. Procurement transactions and supplier onboarding are now conducted through the platform, translating governance objectives into operational practice through clearer data visibility and structured reporting.

CDC International’s role in the implementation sits within a broader public sector digitalisation context that prioritises governance continuity, operational resilience and long-term system stewardship. Beyond system deployment, the company’s operating model is structured to support agencies over time, as governance requirements and institutional expectations continue to develop.

As public sector institutions face growing scrutiny over transparency, accountability and institutional capacity, the ePPHG implementation illustrates how system-led procurement can move beyond compliance to become an enduring governance mechanism. The Pahang rollout demonstrates how SPEED provides a scalable and replicable framework for administrations seeking to institutionalise disciplined, future-ready procurement governance.
