On August 17, 2026, from 09:00 to 16:00 hrs., at the Chaw Kaew Meeting Room, 5th Floor, Building 31, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University—the Finance Division, in collaboration with the Personnel Administration Division and the Central Administration Division, Office of the President—organized a training workshop entitled “Enhancing Knowledge and Understanding of Public Procurement and Anti-Corruption Guidelines in the Procurement Process.” The opening ceremony and training session were presided over by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Komsan Somanawat, Vice President.
Target ParticipantsThe training attracted active participation from internal personnel of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University across various divisions, specifically officers and staff responsible for public procurement, supply management, and inventory administration.
Background & Strategic Problem SolvingPublic procurement processes in state institutions are inherently complex and subject to continually updating laws, regulations, and guidelines. Misinterpretation of regulations, inconsistent operational procedures, or procedural oversights can lead to administrative errors, complaints, or corruption risks. Recognizing these challenges, the university took a Proactive Approach to solve these issues by systematically raising awareness, fostering ethical compliance, and empowering operational staff with precise, up-to-date legal knowledge.
Key Knowledge Takeaways & Practical ApplicationParticipants gained deep insights into relevant laws, state procurement criteria, operational guidelines, and preventative measures against potential corruption risks. This enables staff to:
- Execute Tasks Accurately & Efficiently: Minimize repetitive errors and eliminate unnecessary steps in supply management.
- Standardize Fair & Transparent Operations: Ensure full accountability and auditability across all procurement steps.
- Optimize Budgetary Resources: Maximize cost-effectiveness and value in utilizing university resources.
Project Outcomes & Future RoadmapBeyond enhancing operational competency, ensuring transparency, and mitigating administrative risks, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University has formulated future strategic plans to continuously cultivate an organizational culture of integrity (No Gift Policy & Zero Tolerance for Corruption). Moving forward, the university plans to establish Best Practice frameworks, implement regular performance audits, and integrate digital technology and information systems to further modernize and streamline procurement workflows.
Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)This initiative demonstrates Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University’s strong commitment to sustainable organizational development aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The project directly supports sub-targets focused on substantially reducing corruption and bribery, as well as developing effective, accountable, and transparent institutions at all levels—positioning the university as a role model for good governance in higher education.
