Much has been said in recent months about the lack of small companies bidding for government contracts and the fact the government contracts tend to be awarded to large companies. To address this imbalance the UK government has set up a new web based system that makes it easier for small businesses to bid for public sector contracts.
The system comprises a set of software tools accessible from any web browser was launched by OGCbuying.solutions, a trading arm of the Office of Government Commerce.
The tools aid all aspect of the tender process, from bid submission to evaluation of bid proposals. It also allows the electronic management of contracts and for collaboration between buyers and suppliers such as the sharing of drawings or project plans before or after a contract is won.
The new e-procurement system will result in less time being spent on proposals by public sector buyers.
