e-Procurement

The Minister for Finance, Mr. Charlie McCreevy, T.D published a major strategic report on electronic procurement (eProcurement) entitled A Strategy for the Implementation of eProcurement in the Irish Public Sector in April 2002. >> View Strategy Document The Minister said the Government had accepted the report as a blueprint for the roll out of eProcurement across the public service and had agreed that immediate action should be taken to start implementing its recommendations. The strategy set out in the report aims to provide a much improved service to users, buyers and suppliers through new procurement policies, practices, and standardisation of processes and documentation. It will contribute to the Government’s commitment to eEurope, improve auditability of procurement expenditure, provide greater transparency and openness and promote greater use of fully automated integrated management information systems. The strategy covers the civil service, the health, education and local authority services and some non-commercial state-sponsored bodies. It is sufficiently flexible to permit the inclusion of commercial State companies at a later date if that is judged appropriate. Currently we are awaiting the implementation phase of the e-Procurement project, in the interim we will continue to selectively publish tenders on the central eProcurement Website (www.etenders.gov.ie) to include downloadable tender documentation.
