Bhubaneswar, July 15: Odisha-headquartered GovTech company CSM Technologies Limited has secured a prestigious World Bank-funded digital procurement assignment in Malawi, further strengthening its international footprint and underscoring India’s growing role in building Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) across developing nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has been awarded by the Public Private Partnership Commission (PPPC) of Malawi through CSM Tech Limited, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Kenya. Valued at Rs 32.08 million, the assignment involves designing, developing and commissioning an Electronic Auctioning Platform (EAP) under the Digital Malawi Acceleration Project (DMAP), supported by the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital platform will replace conventional paper-based auctioning with a secure, transparent and fully auditable electronic system. It will facilitate online bid submission, real-time bid evaluation, bidder anonymity, automated ranking and electronic publication of results, significantly improving efficiency, transparency and accountability in public procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 12-month project is part of the six-year Digital Malawi Acceleration Project, implemented under the World Bank-supported Inclusive Digitalization in Eastern and Southern Africa (IDEA) programme. The initiative aims to expand broadband connectivity to benefit more than 7.5 million users, connect 2,500 public institutions\u2014including 2,000 schools and 500 government offices\u2014enable around 5 million digital authentications for public service delivery, and reduce retail data costs from 9.4 per cent to 4 per cent of GNI per capita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the contract, CSM Tech will execute the entire project lifecycle, including business requirement assessment, platform architecture, software development, system integration, cybersecurity testing, pilot implementation, production rollout, user training, knowledge transfer and post-deployment support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the development, Priyadarshi Pany, Managing Director and CEO of CSM Technologies, said the engagement reflected growing global confidence in India’s DPI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are honoured to partner with the Government of Malawi and the World Bank in building a transparent, technology-driven auctioning ecosystem that strengthens governance and accelerates digital inclusion,” he said, adding that the project reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering mission-critical GovTech solutions that create measurable public value across emerging economies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
