E-procurement has the potential to improve efficiency in government administration and promote competition in the business sector. However, there are still a multitude of challenges in introducing and implementing an e-procurement system. Infrastructures are underdeveloped and there is a lack of awareness among national and local government policy-makers and business of the benefits that e-procurement can provide. Before an e-procurement system can achieve maximum potential, a strong infrastructure must be developed; ICT services expanded; innovative policies administered to establish a secure online environment; standards developed; and government administrators and in the private sector human resources must be trained.
The aims of publication are to facilitate planning and implementing e-procurement in the Asian and Pacific region; share of knowledge and experience; and identify the current status of e-procurement that would help developing countries in the region to reduce costs and time required to develop suitable e-procurement systems and content. In this connection, this publication: (i) reviews diverse business models and trends in e-procurement, (ii) examines conductive policies, legal framework and technological infrastructure required for e-procurement, and (iii) identifies the overall current status of the Asian and Pacific region related with e-procurement and particular situation of each country.
