Government procurement management is a crucial aspect of public financial management, playing a strategic role in the allocation of national budgets. In 2022, the government earmarked RM292,693 million for the operating budget with RM34,692 million (11.85 percent) allocated for services and supplies and RM766 million (0.26 percent) for government assets. Additionally, RM71,574 million was allocated for the development budget with 54.67 percent for the economic sector, 29.53 percent for the social sector, and 11.47 percent for the security sector.

These allocations aim to enhance public sector service delivery in line with the goals outlined in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12th Plan). To achieve these objectives, efficient, transparent, and accountable management of government procurement is essential. This necessitates the implementation of good governance practices, adhering to the five principles of government procurement:

1. Public accountability
2. Transparency
3. Best interest value
4. Open competition
5. Fair and equitable
