September 2023 PMS Monitoring Status Overview
September 2023 was a critical juncture as the end of the third quarter — a moment to review cumulative achievement against annual PMS (Procurement Monitoring System) targets and identify priority actions for Q4 intensive execution. As the monsoon season wound down, procurement notices shifted to a recovery trend, and September monitoring reached 65 cases, the highest monthly total of the third quarter.
Cumulative monitoring through Q3 reached 569 cases, achieving 71% of the annual target of 800. With most KPI indicators showing achievement rates of 70–90%, meeting the annual targets is still possible if efforts are concentrated in Q4. In particular, contract award performance ($1.6M vs. $3.0M target, 53%) remains the most critical execution challenge.
