This research titled addresses the inefficiencies and lack of transparency associated with the manual auctioning process of surplus government assets. The system was developed as a web-based platform using HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL, aiming to streamline the auctioning process, enhance public participation, and promote accountability. Key features of the system include user registration, real-time bidding, secure payment processing, and an administrative dashboard for auction management. Through an extensive review of online auction systems and their application in government agencies, the project emphasizes the importance of transparency, accountability, and security in auction platforms. System testing demonstrated the platform's effectiveness in meeting its objectives, providing a user-friendly and efficient alternative to traditional methods. This solution significantly improves the auctioning process, fostering public trust and ensuring better asset disposal management. The project also provides recommendations for continuous monitoring, user training, and the integration of advanced features to enhance the system's functionality and adaptability in the future.
