eGovernment
Overview
eGovernment is defined to include on-line public services, culture, tourism, transport and mobility, environment and services aimed at broadening participation in the democratic process.
The primary objective is to realise seamless eGovernment (eAdministration) enabling administrations, citizens, NGOs, businesses, suppliers, and other public sector bodies in Europe to interact. The priorities are: multi-functional access to public services; effectiveness and efficiency of public administrations; and improved quality of public service provision. These will be driven by both intra-and inter-governmental re-engineering, the need to strengthen efficiency, and striving towards democratic processes and open government and public administration. The targets are to build services around citizens’ and business’ choice; to make cross-administration government services more accessible; and to create a user-centric, knowledge-based eGovernment. Note that services in the area of public procurement must conform to legal requirements in this area, including the forthcoming European framework for public procurement. Proposals for such services must make clear how they intend to ensure conformity to this framework.
