eProcurement in DWP
The Department has launched a new eProcurement service that aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the sourcing process through use of a web-enabled solution. The new DWP eProcurement Solution will cover the end-to-end procurement process providing a simple, secure and efficient means for managing procurement activities. Reducing the time and effort required for both buyers and suppliers.
The eProcurement service provides a set of collaborative, web-based tools that allow procurement professionals and suppliers to conduct the strategic activities of the procurement lifecycle online. These strategic activities include:
- requirements definition
- tendering
- negotiation
- award
- contract management and
- supplier performance management.
Some of our current opportunities can be found on our web-based eTendering service, which we use to advertise tender opportunities and information on procurement projects. The service allows you to:
- access tender documentation online
- download and complete your tender and
- submit the tender electronically.
- Access our eTendering Service (Bravo Solution secure website)
Opportunities to deliver low value welfare to work provision are purchased through an automated system known as Electronic Request for Quotation.
Why is the Department using eProcurement?
After publication of the 2007 Glover report that recommended central governments departments issue tender documentation electronically, DWP has adopted electronic procurement processes to conduct some of its tendering activity. eTendering allows us to:
- streamline our procurement processes
- reduce some mandatory procurement timescales for above Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) threshold requirements by conducting our tender processes online and
- makes it easier for suppliers wanting to do business with us.
How is the eProcurement service being delivered for the Department?
The service is delivered via a secure hosted managed service from a primary service provider, BravoSolution UK.
