Summary: | The use of electronic means to enhance
the management of the procurement process is one of the
central components of Public sector reform due to its
potential impact on public sector efficiency and
effectiveness, on the institutional reorganization process,
on businesses´ productivity and competition levels and on
the level of trust form the public. The main difficulty in
implementing e-GP lies on knowing how to start, and the
stages to be followed. Several countries have already
developed their own e-GP processes, under various models,
achieving different degrees of success. These experiences
have provided several key components to be taken into
account in order to develop a successful e-GP process. These
are the components used to build this Roadmap.
Characteristics of this e-GP Roadmap are as follows: it can
be applied in all countries, regions, and municipalities.
This roadmap serves as a baseline for the creation of a more
specific one; and it is based on the fact that the role
played by e-GP in the modernization of public sector
processes encompasses a combination of institutional
changes, political decision-making, legal and regulatory
development, selection and implementation of standards,
trade promotion, human resources development, computer
science and the private sector involvement. It therefore,
does not focus only on administrative or technological
issues, and does not promote 'plug and play'
solutions, because of their lack of ability for promoting
structural changes and the limited of their effects. |
