Why is eProcurement better than current practices?
|
|
Efficiency
It enables smarter buying decisions; faster processes for buyers, no paper to slow things down; achievement of cost and efficiency benefit targets..
Better prices
The Public Sector is better able to use its spending 'clout' to get better prices; devolved ordering replaces devolved contracting; there is agreement on when decision-making needs to remain with front line managers to reduce risk.
Supply Base
More informed and targeted use of the SME, VCO and ethnic minority organisationsw.

Central control does not work
Experience shows that simply imposing control from the centre does not work - it challenges the ability of the front line officer to make service delivery decisions and that is rightly regarded as a priority.
|
Departments are the experts in their own domain and will resist losing control of their spending.
