Summary: | E-procurement systems have become an
integral component of procurement reform by governments
around the world as they move to institute competitive and
fully transparent procurement systems, and to address issues
of corruption and transparency. This rise in demand for
e-Government Procurement (e-GP) systems has created an
innovative industry of technical products and business
arrangements. To support the development, implementation and
operation of e-procurement systems, governments have
undertaken several different business approaches, from
complete in house solutions to various types of third-party
partnerships. Each implementation has its own set of
benefits and business issues associated with it, which
directly affect both the government and the suppliers doing
business with the government. The purpose of the study is to
identify the types of business arrangements used by
governments; the benefits of these arrangements; how they
may or may not affect the procurement process; the types of
issues or perceived issues that have resulted from the
business approaches applied; the contractual arrangements or
policies that have been drafted to mitigate issues and
ensure the integrity and security of the procurement
process. The goal of this study is to continue expanding the
World Bank knowledge base on e-procurement programs,
approaches and solutions so that it can continue to assist
organizations with the implementation and management of new
and current government e-procurement initiatives. |
