The use of iBAS++ has been started in case of payment of contractors' bills under the National e-Government Procurement (e-GP) system of the government. As a result, the contractors will now get their bills through online process without any delay.
For the first time on Tuesday, contractors' bills were successfully disbursed through the iBAS++ method using the e-CMS module of the e-GP system. Online bill payment was made possible by the joint efforts of CPTU, iBAS++ Team, Dohatec e-GP EOM Team, Executive Engineer, RHD Noakhali and the contractors. The system was launched under the supervision of Mohammed Shoheler Rahman Chowdhury, Director General of the Central Procurement Technical Unit (CPTU).
Regarding the issue, Mohammed Shoheler Rahman Chowdhury said, “e-GP has achieved a new milestone by introducing online payment system of contractors’ bills. This system will reduce the delay in bill payment and make the process more transparent.”
A K M Shamsuddoha, President of Dohatech, a software manufacturer, said, "We are very much excited that there will be no more delays in case payment of contractors' bills. Quick payment of bills will increase the liquidity of the contractors which will speed up the implementation of the projects."
