Welcome (en) to the Multilateral Development Banks e-GP Website
Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) solutions have been proven to produce transparency and significant savings for those countries able to implement them successfully.
e-GP is a very effective tool in the fight against corruption, the promotion of integration and the stimulation of greater productivity not only at government levels, but also in small and medium enterprises.
At the beginning of 2003, a working group, composed of the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank, was created under the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) Procurement Harmonization Process. This e-GP group has, since then, achieved a high degree of harmonization in its approach to provide technical advice and support to member countries in developing national e-GP strategies and solutions.
This website provides a single entry point to all the information developed and all the tools created under the e-GP Working Group.
We hope these resources will be useful for your strategy planning and as well as allow you to achieve the benefits that e-GP puts at hand.
Regards,
The e-GP Working Group.

Malaysia's eBidding module wins eIndia award
|
|
The Malaysian Government electronic procurement system, ePerolehan, has won the eINDIA award for the government-to-business (G2B) initiative for its innovative eBidding module. The eBidding module has helped reduce government expenditure with savings of between 20 per cent and up to 40 per cent of the actual allocated budget.
The module was first introduced in 2006 to help achieve the Ministry of Finance vision towards providing innovation and efficiency in public sector procurement.
eBidding adopted the concept of reverse auction, where shortlisted government suppliers compete with each other, by offering their lowest prices in a real-time and online bidding platform in order to secure a government contract.
For suppliers, the advantage of using the eBidding module comes from a faster procurement cycle which also leads to faster payments.

Brasil incorporates Green Procurement standards for government procurement
|
|
Brasil Planning Ministry regulated the use of sustainability standards for procurement of goods, services and works. Rogerio Santana, Secretary of Logistics and Information Technology of the Ministry Planning said, “These rules will cause a market adjustment; all suppliers will have to provide products that comply with our requirements.” Santana said the government can use its enormous purchasing power to influence these changes in the market.
TPublic works will be developed taking into account savings in maintenance and operation; reduced electricity and water consumption; as well as materials with low environmental impact. Another requirement is origin certification of all timber used in public works, to avoid usage of illegal wood.
The Federal Government also recommends that goods acquired should be non-toxic, biodegradable and recycled; with no dangerous concentration of materials such a chrome or cadmium.

EU Commision Conference - Promoting Innovation through Public Procurement March 23-24.
|
|
In the past three years, the European Commission and several public authorities in Europe have launched a number of initiatives that stimulate the public procurement of innovations and stimulate innovative public procurement itself. These include Green Public Procurement GPP, e-Procurement, social considerations, variants in procurement, technical dialogue or forward commitment procurement methodologies, as well as Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) or research oriented public procurements.
Stakeholder and expert communities, training and guidance are being developed. To start building a European critical mass in this field, there is a need to facilitate the networking and exchanging of best practice among public procurers and relevant stakeholders. This conference aims to promote a connected community of stakeholders and identify possible joint actions.

4th International Conference on Methodologies, Technologies and Tools enabling e-Government, July 1 - 2 - Call for Papers.
|
| |
 |
| |
|
The MeTTeG conference intends to bring together researchers and practitioners active in the area of electronic government with a focus on the role played by the information and communication technologies. It provides a forum for participants from different perspectives and disciplines to present innovative methodologies, technologies and tools, share experiences and lessons learned from case studies, and discuss challenges.
Public administrations made great effort to provide more sophisticated E-Government services. While strategies, methodologies and realisation of E-Government services vary significantly between the various actors and stakeholders, the alignment of IT with the processes and objectives of the service providers plays an increasing role in service management.
A further challenge is how to enhance the dissemination, accessibility and acceptance of E-Government services by citizens and companies. Deadline for submissions of papers: March 14 For more information please visit: http://conferences.cs.unicam.it/metteg10/call-for-papers/.

CONSIP The Electronic Marketplace of the Public Administration (MEPA) - Scenario, Operation and Trends
he Public Administration Electronic Market (MEPA) is a tool managed by CONSIP that supports purchases below the community threshold (137,000 euros for central administrations and 211,000 euros for local authorities) and promotes SME participation in the Program.
It’s a selective electronic market in which authorized suppliers offer their goods and services directly on-line. Registered buyers (Public Administrations) consult its catalogues and can make either a direct purchase order or request for offer.
The MEPA allows for the purchase of goods that would not be efficiently sold through framework contracts on account of their specific characteristics (e.g., non-standardized goods) or of the requirements they are intended to meet (e.g., fractioned, frequent, small and specific service-option purchases).
The MEPA offers both goods that are not offered in the framework contracts (e.g., office supplies, IT and electrical supplies, accessories and clothing), or goods that are similar to those offered in the framework contracts, but with a different purchasing process.

E-Tendering Requirements for MDB Financed Procurement
Borrowing countries are increasingly inclined to use electronic procurement systems to process and manage activities funded by the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).
Although it is not necessary for an e-GP system to include all procurement functions, for some steps in the government procurement processes, online technology is extremely efficient (such as for advertising of bid opportunities).
This guide was published as reference for MDB units managing projects, to evaluate features, standards, and operations where e-GP systems are intended to be used for bidding for goods, works, services or consulting.

E-GP – Implementations: A Review of Business Models and Approaches
The 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.
In order to better understand the business arrangements required for an effective eprocurement system and to better support governments looking at different approaches to the implementation of an e-procurement system, the World Bank undertook a study to examine the business approaches and practices used by governments around the world for the execution and operation of their e-procurement systems.
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; and, the conditions that have been applied to ensure the long-term sustainability of the e-procurement system, as well as to protect the government and its participating vendors in the case of a failed business operation or a government opting for a different solution in the future.
