Chapter Chapter 3 in eDemocracy & eGovernment, 2019, pp 35-52 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 3 describes Web-based processes of procurement and purchasing for the administration. In Sect. 3.1, partial steps of the eProcurement process are explained and new potential benefits for the administrative institution are shown. Section 3.2 deals with the procurement model Seller-Side, while Sect. 3.3 focuses on the Buyer-Side and Sect. 3.4 on the market solution. To this end, we will discuss the software services for both the administrative institution and the suppliers’ side, including intermediaries. The Public Offering via Internet is a process that starts, as displayed in Sect. 3.5, with publishing a public order and requesting the submission of offers, then it evaluates these offers and awards the contract. In order to determine prices in a dynamic way, Sect. 3.6 presents some current auction possibilities. The purchase of indirect goods with the help of desktop purchasing systems is presented in Sect. 3.7. Section 3.8 gives a summary of the literature. The case study discusses the procurement of Maintenance, Repair, Operations (MRO) goods (indirect goods for maintenance, repair, and operations) for the Swiss Federal Railways. In this, inverse auctions are used to obtain purchasing advantages
