Short description of the case:
The main objectives of the National e-Procurement Program are to: increase efficiency and transparency, generate savings, and promote the adoption of e-commerce. The focus was on the characterization of the expense and the reformulation of procedures, whereby new processes were adopted, such as sourcing, aggregation and negotiation. In the pilot phase the project involved eight ministries and a few public bodies and product categories. Presently, the process is at a generalization and enlargement phase to all public bodies/ministries, and other product categories.
Main feature of the case:
- Effective management of resources and partnership
- Developing and managing processes
Key words:
E-Government readiness, more specifically transformation and innovation in the back office; E-Government as a catalyst for transformation in public administrations.
