All government regular procurement to go online by 2025All government regular procurement transactions and bulk procurement will be done via the electronic national bidding system by 2025, according to a master plan and a road map for online procurement in 2016-2025. Other tasks in this period include the upgrade of the user support feature and launch of online payment for bidding fees and guarantees via banks or online payment gateways. A system for monitoring and assessing biddings and a database on bidders’ capability and experience will be developed, together with an e-Catalog for online regular procurement and bulk purchase. Another goal is to start online payment to contractors in line with disbursement progress. From 2018-2025, the action plan focuses on building legal documents for online biddings and connecting the national bidding system with other e-government systems.
