Guidance

Background

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) works closely with other procurement advisory bodies to provide advice and guidance to the public sector on the successful adoption of eProcurement. In Autumn 2002 the OGC published eProcurement: Cutting through the hype, as a guide to eProcurement for the public sector. Since Autumn 2002 there have been significant developments for eProcurement: legislative changes have encouraged greater use throughout the European Union; new techniques such as electronic reverse auctions (eAuctions) have become common practice; and the government has launched its drive for greater public sector efficiency following HM Treasury's publication of Sir Peter Gershon's Efficiency Review, Releasing Resources to the Frontline, in July 2004.

The OGC commissioned research of central government electronic purchasing systems in 2003/4. Government departments and agencies reported on their adoption of eCommerce purchasing systems.
