What is it? / How does it work?

What is e-procurement?
Electronic procurement (eProcurement) is the use of electronic tools and systems to increase efficiency and reduce costs during each stage of the purchasing process.

Making it happen
In preparing the Procurement Guidance - the Blue Frog report (PDF, 790KB), interviews were conducted with more than 40 public and private sector practitioners involved in implementing eProcurement programmes. These people worked with buying organisations, IT solution providers and policy-making bodies: their contributions ensured the report reflects proven practice, rather than untried theory.

The findings will help all those involved at a senior level in Procurement strategy - evaluating, planning, implementing and operating - make the right decisions throughout eProcurement projects, contributing to successful and more efficient purchasing processes. It will also be an invaluable reference for associated business practitioners in procurement, finance, IT and human resources who need to play an active part in securing the benefits of electronic trading.
