A Study On Sustainable E-Procurement Strategies In The Public Sector Organisations

Abstract

Background: This paper investigates public sector e-procurement adoption rates, problems, and barriers connected to sustainable approaches. While e-procurement provides improved efficiency and openness, public sector companies face significant challenges preventing its complete application.

Purpose: The main goals of this study are to evaluate the degree of adoption of electronic purchasing inside public sector entities, pinpoint the main difficulties and obstacles faced by public sector organisations in the application of e-procurement systems, and offer recommendations for best practices and policy changes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of e-purchasing processes in the public sector.

Methodology: The paper looks at public sector company issues, an assessment of current online procurement systems, and data on e-procurement system adoption rates. Based on a thorough analysis of these facts, the suggestions suggest regulatory changes to create an environment favourable for sustainable e-procurement methods.

Results: To ensure the success of e-procurement systems, the study underlines the need of investment in staff development, the application of digital technology, and the building of a culture of constant improvement. The results highlight the need of creating criteria to assess effectiveness and efficiency, therefore providing public sector organisations with practical information.

Originality: This paper offers fresh ideas by linking e-procurement to public sector sustainability goals. To accommodate developing digital technologies and increasing procurement needs, it underlines the need for standardised, user-centric e-procurement systems, improved knowledge-sharing efforts, and continuous staff development.
