Electronic procurement enhances many objectives. Some among many are efficiency, transparency, cost reduction, cross-border commerce, protection of health and safety, tracking of expenditure and revenue, corruption control just to mention a few. This paper analyses the regulation of electronic procurement framework in international organizations by employing the doctrinal legal method through analyzing the various legal documents like journals and various research papers, websites and blog.
The objective was to check out the best practices of electronic procurement framework by some of the international organizations. The World Trade Organization (WTO), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law and the European Union (EU) have earmarked as the representatives of other international organizations.
The author has reviewed the 2012 Agreement on Government Procurement of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Model Law on Public Procurement of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL Model Law) and the 2014 Public Procurement Directives of the EU to offer the example of how successfully electronic government procurement is implemented.
The study has revealed that both the international organizations assessed recognize electronic procurement. They have frameworks that allow the digitalization of public procurement as source of transparency, non-discrimination, equal treatment, competition and the efficiency.
With above views, the author recommends to all international organizations and governments worldwide yet to recognize e-procurement if any to either amend or repeal and re-enact their traditional paper-based procurement regulatory framework into e-procurement framework in order to comply with advancement of digital technology but also to achieve effective, efficient and adequate regulatory framework of electronic procurement.
