| description |
In 1997 the Korean government began
reforming its notoriously complicated, nontransparent,
corrupt public procurement system, introducing e-procurement
to exploit the country's well-developed information and
communications infrastructure. Through extensive business
process reengineering and information strategy planning, the
Public Procurement Service-the agency formerly responsible
for buying government goods and services-has been
transformed into a one-stop information center.
E-procurement has generated numerous benefits, including:
Enhanced transparency and public trust-by reducing contacts
between officials and suppliers and by sharing information
between government agencies and the public. Increased
managerial efficiency-by achieving economies of scale in
procurement, with an estimated $2.5 billion a year in
savings from the $26 million investment. This note analyzes
how Korea achieved these outcomes, the lessons of its
experience, and the challenges that remain for its
e-procurement system. |
