Info

This main objective can be achieved if all the experts are encouraged to share their knowledge and experience with their peers and, conversely, profit of the others’ successes and failures. The community is mainly focused on technical and organisational aspects related to the implementation and usage of electronic solutions that support the different phases and procedures of Public Procurement. In January 2008 the Kick Off workshop officially launched the eProcurement Community: it represented a great success in terms of attending people (97 experts from all over Europe) and overall satisfaction. Under these encouraging auspices, the story of the eProcurement Forum started. It rapidly grew in size and now, after 2 years, counts more then 550 members: it is open to practitioners from European administrations, from public and private organisations, from academia and research centres. All the community members are encouraged to freely contribute to the community by telling stories about their experience with the design, implementation and use of eProcurement systems, that is to create “cases”. They can also contribute by sharing the outcomes of feasibility studies, standardization activities, surveys or pilot actions, made available in the form of freely accessible documents. It is not an official Commission site, even if the Commission has appointed several facilitators to create a team whose main task is identifying and following the most relevant activities in the eProcurement field or related topics and keep the experts updated on their objectives, progresses and achievements. Therefore the facilitators provide support to the community members, encourage and filter contributions, produce guidelines and other documents, support the organisation of events and launch other initiatives aimed at promoting the uptake of eProcurement. They can be contacted directly, by clicking on their profiles (visible on the homepage of the community) or sending an email to eprocurement@epractice.eu Membership is open to everyone, but the community has been thought in order to provide useful contents and support to specific groups which are usually the targets of Invitations and dissemination activities. These groups, from a preliminary but not necessarily exhaustive analysis are: • Responsibles of development, adoption and use of eProcurement systems within Public Administrations, probably the most natural target; • Responsibles of development, adoption and use of eProcurement systems within other large institutions that conducts complex procurement procedures; • Members of standardisation bodies with specific activities in eProcurement and eBusiness; • Members of other working groups or communities (such as the EULab, the Public Procurement network, etc...); • People from Academia or from research organisations with interests in legal and technical aspects of eProcurement; • Consortia working on research or piloting projects dealing with eProcurement or related topics, such as PEPPOL, PROCURE or ELLECTRAWeb • Other projects funded by European or National programmes; • Experts from the private sector (such as IT companies, consultants, financial institutions); Report on the “Uptake of pre-awarding phases in eProcurement” Workshop – Vienna, 22nd February 2010 Page 8 of 29
• Officials of the European Commission; • Members of other groups working with the Commission (Expert groups, contractors...) Registered members can profit of a wide range of services that allow them to access a large amount of selected information, to stay updated about most recent achievements and news in the eProcurement domain, to provide their own contributions, to contact peers and to participate in the discussions and events. Becoming a member is very easy: the pre-requisite is only having an account on the ePractice portal (which can be easily created by filling the form at: http://www.epractice.eu/en/user/register After having logged on ePractice, a user should simply click on http://www.epractice.eu/community/eprocurement/join_community 2.3 PEP-Online / eTendering – Elisabeth Gruenmann (auftrag.at, Austria) “Auftrag.at breaks the silence that tends to fall upon eTendering processes once a notice has been published: The new PEP Online, which is the underlying operating system, is interactive, offering round-the-clock tendering information and the possibility to place questions and responses for everybody involved at any time. An open and public process, competition is not violated but enhanced – with fairness”: This was the statement from Elisabeth Gruenmann about eTendering in Austria. The new eTendering-module supports the procurement process before placing the contract, it covers every step from announcement to award or cancellation. Unlike other providers auftrag.at sets the focus not on the identification of the best bid or the description of requirements, but on the communication between (public) buyer and (private) supplier.
