| Objective of the consultation |
|
The Green paper invites comments on how the EU can help Member States to:
- fully exploit e-procurement’s potential to simplify and improve public purchasing;
- accelerate the switch-over by providing the right mix of legislative incentives and tools;
- allow operators from other Member States to participate in on-line procurement procedures.
E-procurement refers to the use of electronic communications and transaction processing by
government institutions and other public sector organisations when buying supplies and services
or tendering public works. The introduction of e-procurement can increase the accessibility,
transparency and efficiency of public procurement procedures and strengthen competition for
government contracts. The switch-over to e-procurement is an integral part of the e-government
agenda for transforming public administration across Europe. The Commission’s
“Digital Agenda for Europe” foresees the adoption in 2011 of a
Commission White Paper which will “define concrete steps that could inter-connect
e-procurement capacity across the single market”. This Green Paper constitutes a first
step towards the definition of an ambitious but realistic programme of concrete actions.
As part of this consultation process DG Markt will host a public hearing on
“Facilitating e-procurement: what can/should the EU do?”
in Brussels on 25 November 2010,
bringing together all those interested in making the best use of IT to re-model and
improve the efficiency of public procurement.
