  • Bangladesh standardises public procurement

    Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has recently inaugurated the electronic government procurement (e-GP)-an online platform to carry out procurement activities by the public agencies - Procuring Agencies (PAs) and Procuring Entities (PEs).

    The e-GP system is a single web portal from where and through which PAs and PEs will be able to perform their procurement related activities using a dedicated secured web based dashboard.

    The e-Government Procurement solution introduced under Public Procurement Reform (PPR) Process is being supported by World Bank and being used by all government organisations which will help in ensuring equal access to the Bidders/Tenderers, efficiency, transparency and accountability in the public procurement process in the country.

  • Bangladesh: Citizen engagement in procurement

    In a culture of looking at all government activities from a critical point of view, good initiatives are seldom appreciated. But the fact is that the government, irrespective of its political party-wise composition, deserves and, therefore, needs support from relevant stakeholders for translating those initiatives into action.

    The Public-Private Stakeholders Committee (PPSC) formed under the auspices of the Public Procurement Reform Project-II by the government happens to be such an initiative aimed at devising a third-party monitoring mechanism in the process of public procurement in the country.

  • Bangladesh: E-tendering

    AT a time when the world is advancing fast by dint of technology, Bangladesh cannot stay behind and, therefore, the government has laid thrust on easy and quick delivery of public services.

  • BD: WB-funded e-GP fails to check graft

    Political influence, collusion, syndication still play major role in public procurement

    Transparency International Bangladesh on Wednesday said that the introduction the e-government procurement hardly checked corruption in the public procurement that crossed over two lakh trillion taka annually.

  • BD: E-government procurement portal poised to take off, but many entities dither

    Lack of training blamed for apathy

    The government's online-based electronic procurement system is yet to gain a foothold among the people related to procurement and tendering process, as it has been introduced without sufficient training for the relevant persons. On the other hand, both the public and private stakeholders are largely not aware of the development.

    The e-Government Procurement (e-GP) system became operational in October last year with a pilot programme involving Local Government Engineering Department (LGED), Roads and Highways Department (RHD), Rural Electrification Board (REB) and Bangladesh Water Development Board, Planning Commission sources said.

  • BD: e-tendering not followed in most govt procurement

    Officials, contractors reluctant

    Most government offices are yet to introduce e-tendering though it is one of the priorities of the government's 'Digital Bangladesh' initiatives, sources said.

    Over 70 per cent government works are still being done through the old system of inviting bids although the Prime Minister had instructed all the ministries to implement e-tendering system in 2011.

  • BD: Promoting e-GP for streamlining government procurement system

    The online electronic procurement system has been introduced in the country, thanks to the government's pro-active move. But it has failed to gain popularity because of absence of mass awareness as well as necessary technical training. A FE report published on October 26 said, these factors have slowed down online electronic procurement. What is surprising is that the stakeholders in both public and private sectors are yet to be made aware of the new system. Only 19 organisations have so far been enlisted for the e-Government Procurement (e-GP) system, despite the fact that it was introduced 15 months ago. Moreover, the use of the system has not yet been made compulsory on consideration of the low level of computer literacy, less than required skill to use the electronic system and limited access to the Internet.

  • BD: Public agencies on scramble for e-procurement system

    Fraud, collusion in tendering process to be checked

    Bangladesh's newly-introduced electronic procurement has become popular among the government agencies as many public entities are lobbying to adopt the new online purchasing system, officials said Saturday.

    Central Procurement Technical Unit (CPTU) officials said they have received nearly 25 applications from different agencies of the government to include them in the e-government procurement (e-GP) system.

Die Palette reicht von Büromaterial und Büromöbeln über IT-Ausstattungen und Dienstkleidung bis hin zu Fahrzeugen. Das neue Online-Warenhaus ist beim Zentraldienst der Polizei (ZDPol) in Wünsdorf angesiedelt, auf dessen mehrjährige Erfahrungen mit der elektronischen Bestellplattform für die Polizeibeamten aufgebaut werden kann.
