Welcome to Quantity Surveying and Construction Procurement

Assalamualaikum and dear all,

This blog compliments teaching and learning for courses that I facilitate at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The contents serve to further 'connect' students to the 'real world' (quantity surveying, construction procurement and others). In trying to provide current information to students, I will be quoting or reproducing works of others and for this I am grateful. I will indicate clearly the source(s). I hope I will not offend anyone; and many will frequent this blog and benefit from its contents.

Thank you and wassalam.

More transparent public sector procurement via “MyProcurement”

Salam and dear all,

The Malaysian government yesterday (1st April 2010) announced that information on government tenders - projects available for tenders and names of successful tenderers - will be made available, real-time and online, via a newly created portal known as "MyProcurement". The said information will be available at http://myprocurement.treasury.gov.my/. The Prime Minister said that the initiative aims to boost transparency, integrity and to prevent corruption in public sector procurement.
