N2 - Digital transformation in the public sector offers opportunities for developing countries to address socioeconomic development challenges related to citizen wellbeing. While countries in the developed world digitally transform their public sector procurement for socioeconomic development, many in the developing world are yet to do so. Existing information systems research on digital procurement in developing countries has focused more on adoption, strategy, and design. Little is known about how manual procurement practices are digitally transformed in the public sector of developing countries for socioeconomic development. This study employs interpretive case study as a methodology and activity theory as analytical lens to investigate how manual procurement activities in the public sector get digitally transformed and its effect on socioeconomic development in a developing country context. The findings have implications for research, practice, and policy.
