Warning: the workshop has been moved to the 4th December 2009.

CONSIP, in cooperation with the eProcurement Forum, is organising a workshop in Rome aimed at presenting some European eprocurement best practices to facilitate SMEs access to public eprocurement

This is in line with the recommendations issued by the European Commission and contained in the “Code of Best Practices” document and in the “European Small Business Act” (SBA). 

The general aim is to share the best actions undertaken individually by some countries in order to remove barriers and support SMEs access to public eprocurement and  launch topics for potential community discussion.

Any communication (request for information, proposals for contributions, etc…) can be sent directly to Ms Angela Russo (angela.russo@tesoro.it) or to the eProcurement Forum team (eprocurement@epractice.eu).

      Aitor Orobengoa Ortubai (Basque Government)

      In 2005, the Basque Government was the first administration to introduce eProcurement in Spain, having developed a comprehensive eProcurement system for the entire procurement process, offering levels of security that were probably the only ones of their kind in Europe.

      Indeed, all the interventions are guaranteed by recognised electronic signature certificates, highlighting the fact that the telematic bids are broken up and encrypted against the recognised electronic signature certificates of all the members of each procurement board. 

      All the processes are carried out on the tendering company’s PC.     Not a single bit is transferred to our servers until the offer is firm and electronically protected by three different consecutive methods.

      In accordance with the strategic framework laid down by the European Commission in the "i2010 - The European information society for growth and employment" initiative, which focuses on the development of the digital economy in Europe, over the last two years new functionalities have been developed to obtain a greater opening-up of the markets, interoperability and accessibility that make our procurement system highly innovative in comparison with the current state-of-the-art.
