How to promote the electronic development of government procurement

Electronic government procurement is a series of procedures such as declaration, examination and approval, procurement announcement, bidding, bid opening, bid evaluation and contract signing for government procurement by using electronic communication and network technology, information technology and computer network. Compared with traditional government procurement, e-procurement has the advantages of improving procurement efficiency, reducing procurement costs and increasing procurement transparency. Developed countries such as Europe and America began to explore the establishment of e-commerce platform for government procurement in the 1990s. The latest version of the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (20 12) encourages the use of e-government procurement and sets out the principles and procedural requirements for e-procurement. Recently, JD.COM, Alibaba, Suning.cn and other e-commerce companies are pushing the e-commerce of government procurement, aiming at further reengineering the overall process of e-government procurement in China on the basis of the informatization construction of government procurement in China, and unifying e-government procurement in China is coming to the fore.

The third is to establish a sharing mechanism of government procurement information. On the basis of giving full consideration to the convenience of financial department's fund circulation approval, procurement supervision and management, and organization and implementation of government procurement activities, the "Golden Finance Project" of the national financial system is used as an electronic platform to integrate the management processes of departmental budget, government procurement and treasury payment, unify leadership and planning, and strive to achieve information sharing and business collaboration among government procurement departments, suppliers, banks, finance, taxation, industry and commerce, and regulatory agencies.
