Seychelles’ finance ministry is ready to launch the first online auction platform for government assets. The platform has been created for disposal and facilitating public access to this service.
A variety of 15 government-owned vehicles, ranging from hatchbacks to pickup trucks, will be part of the first batch of assets to be auctioned online. Moving this service online is part of the government’s decision to ensure the accessibility of government-offered services to the public.
An interested bidder can browse the list of vehicles featured for the first auction sale on the website. Once the person has identified an item that they want to bid on, they will have to click on the ‘Bid Now’ button. The person will be directed to another page where they can view the details – make, model, registration number, and year of manufacture among others – of the vehicle.
Each vehicle has a starting bid. This is established through an evaluation from a company that does so, and based on the figure provided, the ministry together with the auctioneer places the starting bid price.

Once bidding starts, the person will have to register by adding their personal details and the system will then allow them to proceed with the bidding. On the same page, the person will be able to see the auction history of the vehicle and the highest bidder. A person can bid on as many vehicles as they want and as many times as they want. Bidders are encouraged to log out of the system once they have completed their bidding to ensure that no other person does so on their behalf.
