    The Effects of E-Procurement in the Public Sector

    CHAPTER ONE

    Introduction

    1.1 Background To The Study

    E-procurement involves the use of internet ,information networking systems, such as electronic for the purchase and sales of supplies, work and services between the government and other firms. E-procurement value chain consists e-Tendering, e-Auctioning, of indent management, e-Informing, vendor management, catalogue management, Purchase Order Integration, Order Status, Ship Notice, e-invoicing, e-payment and contract management.

    .Baily (2008) classifies e-procurement into the seven categories: the first is Web-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)., E-MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations), E-sourcing, E-tendering ,E-reverse auctioning , E-informing ,and E-market site. According to Eadie et al (2007),the benefit of E-procurement include, Price reduction in tendering, efficient for the finding and connecting of new sources, Lower Administration costs, Reduction in procurement staff and competitive advantage over competitors. A centralized department in the firm can oversee the coordination of all procurement activities for different branches and different offices worldwide can access the same documentation when required, this gives a distinct advantage over the much slower process of having to post documentation between offices. This extends the supply chain beyond geographical boundaries to a much wider group. It facilitates timely delivery and quality delivery of products and services, greater market access but also increased productivity. The research seeks to investigate the effects of e-procurement in the public sector.

    1.2 Statement of the Problem

    The evolution of e-procurement is also faced with some challenges. Uncertainty lies regarding the legal position of e-procurement. The fear is that whether firms can recognize electronically sent documents as valid or legal. E-procurement is also faced with the problem of Lack of IT infrastructure, Wong and Sloan (2004) stated that most firms lacked the relevant technology to carry out e-procurement. Also Harrigan (2008) identified other challenges to include system-to-system integration, ICT/technical issues, technological integration , data quality, and cost of implications of the system. Baily (2008) classifies e-procurement into the seven categories: the first is Web-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)., E-MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations), E-sourcing, E-tendering ,E-reverse auctioning , E-informing ,and E-market site.

This extends the supply chain beyond geographical boundaries to a much wider group. It facilitates timely delivery and quality delivery of products and services, greater market access but also increased productivity. The problem confronting the research is to determine the effects of e-procurement in the public sector.
