The eProcurement Availability Benchmark of Contracting Authorities • Focus: whether eProcurement services are visible and available to potential suppliers on the official websites of Government Authorities • Sample: a comparable sample of Central and Federal/Regional/Local Authorities in the 31 examined countries (352 + 394 Authorities for a total of 746) • Method: Web survey – Questions below • Q1 Does this website contain information about public procurement? • Q2 Does this website publish procurement notices (call for tenders, contract notices, licences) or offer the possibility to register online to access the list of procurement opportunity? • Q3 Does this authority provide eprocurement services (beyond tenders publication)? (either directly, or through a link) • Website Indicator Calculation: positive answers to all 3 questions correspond to a 100 % score, that is full availability. • Country and EU Indicator: average of websites indicators.

The eProcurement Process Benchmark - Focus • Focus: the availability of the subphases constituting the process, on a scale of 0 to 100%, where 100% means full online availabilty • Sample: a comparable sample of websites providing eprocurement services (also called eProcurement platforms), (134 in the validated sample). Pre-Award Phase: • eNotification, the publication of tenders and procurement notices on the web • eSubmisssion, the submission of proposals online • eAwards, the final selection of suppliers (including eAuctions) Post-Award Phase: • eOrdering, the automatic placement of orders online (including eCatalogues); • eInvoicing, the delivery of electronic invoices • ePayment, the online payment of contracts

The eProcurement Pre-Award Process Benchmark – 2009 Source: IDC for 8th EU Benchmark Measurement Consortium
The eProcurement Pre-Award Process Benchmark by Subphase– 2009
The eProcurement Post-Award Process Benchmark – 2009 • Impossible to measure with current methodology • General observations: • less developed than the Pre-Award eProcurement process • eInvoicing and ePayments tend to be implemented by the contracting authorities themselves • The eOrdering subphase seems more present. Usually offered by main national platforms • eCatalogues component of the diffusion of Electronic Markets for routine purchases and the management of Framework agreements
The European eProcurement Landscape : Emerging Insights • eProcurement is evolving towards a networked process linking many different actors and cutting across governmental ‘silos’. • Several countries are on the verge of implementing new, more powerful national procurement platforms (e.g. Austria, Finland, The Netherlands). • Many regional or federal procurement agencies use the introduction of eProcurement as an opportunity to centralize the sourcing and purchase activities of local authorities. • The survey found over 270 eProcurement service providers, providing supporting services for governments, publishing tenders, or specializing in select phases of the procurement process. • In many countries, national infrastructures for eProcurement have evolved into fully-fledged portals, guiding authorities to select procurement tools or services according to their needs (Belgium, Spain, UK).

Problems and Barriers • Quality and completeness of the sample: complexity of roles within the value chain: need to continue mapping with help of MS • Fragmentation of the supply chain: found over 270 service providers and platforms • Data gathering methodology: web survey unable to measure back-office functions and services (e.g. post-award). Panel would be better • Comparability: different institutional arrangements, but possible to find minimum common denominator • Lack of data and information about take-up
EU Benchmark - Next Steps • 3 Workshops with MS representatives to discuss/develop new methodology (December 2009-March 2010) • Online questionnaire with MS representatives to test their ideas • Issues under discussion for eProcurement • investigate the feasibility of a take-up indicator (possible pilot study) • investigate the feasibility of an indicator of the pan-european dimension of eprocurement (or transborder) • Revise sample including vertical platforms (healthcare, social services, exc) • Revise survey methodology (panel rather than web survey)
