+        <problem_statement>Public procurement processes are often  prone to corruption, manipulation, nepotism or favouritism&#13;
+Without a centralized system, contracts are awarded through fragmented channels, making it difficult to detect fraud, monitor compliance, or ensure fair competition. &#13;
+This leads to wasted public funds, delayed infrastructure projects, and eroded citizen trust in government institutions.</problem_statement>

+<p> </p>
+<h3>Which ServiceNow products or capabilities would be used?</h3>
+<p></p><ul><li>
+<p><strong>App Engine Studio</strong> – for custom tender submission, review, and approval workflows</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Integrated Risk Management (IRM)</strong> – for automated compliance checks, vendor risk scoring, and audit readiness</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Customer Service Management (CSM)</strong> – for managing supplier inquiries, document uploads, and case tracking</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Flow Designer</strong> – to orchestrate bid approvals, conflict-of-interest verifications, and award notifications</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Performance Analytics</strong> – to visualize procurement KPIs (e.g., tender cycle time, supplier participation, fraud alerts)</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>IntegrationHub</strong> – for connecting with external e-procurement, ERP, or payment systems</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>UI Builder</strong> – to design intuitive dashboards for procurement officers, auditors, and public transparency portals</p>
+</li></ul>
+<p> </p>
+<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
+<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
+<p></p><ul><li>
+<p><strong>Vendor and business registry API</strong> to validate supplier identities and check for related entities</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>ERP or financial system integration</strong> for payment tracking and budget linkage</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Email or SMS gateway</strong> for bidder notifications and updates</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong> AI or anomaly-detection API</strong> for advanced fraud pattern recognition</p>
+</li><li>
+<p><strong>Document management integration</strong> for uploading RFPs, contracts, and certificates securely</p>
+</li></ul>
+<p> </p>
+<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
+<h3>What challenges would you foresee in implementing this idea?</h3>
+<p></p><ul><li>
+<p>Integrating diverse government legacy procurement systems</p>
+</li><li>
+<p>Ensuring data privacy and integrity for sensitive financial transactions</p>
+</li><li>
+<p>Encouraging supplier adoption of a new digital workflow</p>
+</li><li>
+<p>Maintaining audit transparency while protecting confidential bid information</p>
+</li><li>
