E-Procurement in Scotland.
The
Scottish Executive has put in place a framework agreement that those
organisations who receive funding from the Executive should use
e-procurement as the preferred method of purchasing. Potentially
this would include The NHS and Local Authorities.
The
Scottish Executive is the first government in the world, (except
the State Legislature in California), to take steps to proceed with
an e-procurement project. It is expected that others will follow,
and Netmedia will provide "Products" and "Services"
needed to allow the companies who supply these organisations to
offer their products and services to the organisations using the
PECOS Portal which has been built by Elcom.
This
project will introduce suppliers in Scotland to modern B2B and B2C
E Commerce practices, through which it is to be entirely expected
that their confidence to use e-procurement systems such as this
will grow. It is an initiative of major importance because it dramatically
influences the future abilities of companies in the Scottish Economy.
They will soon deal with buyers using other Portals, and all of
the NetMedia tools are built to allow them to take advantage of
every opportunity and our E-Procurement Software is built and maintained
so it can evolve over time to deal with any Portal Supplier's technology.
Netmedia has developed systems to satisfy the needs of both Supplier side
and Buyer side organisations who need interactive tools to examine
and edit their catalogues prior to adopting them in to their e-procurement
Portal. Netmedia supplies one suite of products to fulfil this objective;
however the suite can be sold in three separate parts. The Control
Panel is the first of these three.
The
Control
Panel is a tool which allows Suppliers to:
- Organise
their Products in an E-Catalogue
- Update
the data in these E-Catalogues
- Electronically
and automatically send a copy of the data, or any changes to it,
from the E-Catalogue to the Elcom Portal.
