PRESS RELEASE
Electronic Procurement in the EU opens doors to cross-border business
(23 May 2008)The European Commission is moving a step closer to making
it easier for companies, in particular Small and Medium Sized
Enterprises (SMEs), to bid for public sector contracts anywhere in the
EU; a crucial step towards achieving the Single European Market. The
Commission will co-finance a pilot project, driven by eight European
countries that will create the conditions to link existing national
electronic public procurement (e-procurement) systems. Simplifying
cross-border procurement will generate savings on administrative and
transaction costs and will benefit taxpayers who ultimately pay for
public purchases. The project will invest more than EUR 19 million over
three years, EUR 9.8 million of which will come from the European
Commission's Competitiveness and Innovation Programme.

Many EU countries use electronic procurement (eProcurement) to make
bidding for public sector contracts simpler and more efficient. However,
these national solutions have limited communication across borders.
