Journey Results Future Directions 2 What is e-GP e-GP is the use of electronic information technology (especially Internet) by governments in conducting their procurement relationships with suppliers for the acquisition of works, goods and consulting services required by the public sector. Management leadership and good Procurement Processes rather than Technology is the key to a successful sustainable implementation. It is, however, important to differentiate between the holistic approach of an e-GP solution and the more narrow approach of a system. 3 What is e-GP Solution Vs System A “system” is usually associated with the technical side. A “solution” takes into account other factors (the whole procurement process, human resources, legislation, organisations and management) needed to create an e-GP vision solid enough to make it successful. Simply applying IT to an inefficient procurement process only increases the inefficiency and risks of the process. 4 Why is it important Government as a driver/enabler for: e-Commerce Standards Economic Growth Building digital roads of the future – trade routs of the past 5 Goals of MDBs e-GP OBJECTIVES GOVERNANCE Transparency Accountability Integrity Public Confidence EFFECTIVENESS Efficiency Informed Management Value-for-money Quality Outcomes ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Business development Competitiveness Technological Enablement Market Access Capacity-building in e-GP targets three key donor objectives for one third of government expenditures 6 e-GP Enhances Governance E-records → Stronger audit trails & capabilities Online processes → Civil oversight Online access → Business oversight Policies online → Transparency of process Contract awards online → Transparent results e-GP is sometimes resisted by individual businesses for precisely these reasons 7 e-GP Efficiency Potential in LAC LAC GDP in 2002 approx. $ 2 Trillion (US) Government procurement > $ 200 Billion 10% saving = $ 20 Billion 20% saving = $ 40 Billion Public Health expenditure $ 100 Billion Public Education expenditure $ 76 Billion e-GP generates price savings of 10%-30% e-GP generates transaction cost savings of 25%-90% e-GP generates outcome savings through reduced corruption 8 Government Procurement - Reality Procurement Average 15% . 80% transactions < $500 GDP 9 Benefits of e-Procurement (MARKETPLACE) Reduces price of goods & services Implementation stage 5% - 10% Expected to stabilise at 10% - 30% Reduces transaction costs 25% - 90% Reduces cycle time to purchase Strengthens fraud control Strengthens policy compliance Industry benefits Increases in productivity – LAC Government driven 10 Systems Integration Community Business Government Portal Gov Payments Asset Disposal e-Procurement Shared Infrastructure Financial Management System 11 e-GP Promotes e-Commerce Domestic Trade Regional Trade Global trade Underpinned by: ICT adoption Common international standards (Authentication & Codification) Regional Cooperation Global Regional Domestic Trade Trade Trade 12 Inconsistent e-GP methodologies Common knowledge base and lessons learnt Inconsistent e-GP policies Demand from client countries Country confusion Duplicate work programs Pooled planning & resourcing Scarce resources dissipated Integrated work programs Disparate e-GP programs of MDBs dissipate effectiveness of capacity-building Consistent advice, policies, strategies, pooled resources - more effectiveness in capacity building Harmonised Programs Independent Programs Why Harmonise?
