Centre for e-auctions

Introducing the OGC centre for e-auctions

OGC Centre for e-Auctions has been set up to increase the impact of e-auctions in the public sector. The centre will provide co-ordination and support for e-auctions across a broad spread of public sector spend, particularly where there is scope for increased collaboration.

The aims of the centre will be to deliver benefits both directly, via better deals, and indirectly, through developing capability. It will

• Form coalitions of public sector organisations to work together
• Provide a regular stream of benchmark data
• Maintain a repository of re-usable tools
• Increase confidence in, and use of, e-auctions
• Add impetus to key category areas

The Centre for e-Auctions will build on existing activity, working closely with Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnerships and Professional Buying Organisations to recruit participants, promote the activity and support implementation.
