What is e-Procurement/e-Sourcing?

e-Procurement (i.e. Electronic Procurement), is a web-based, collaborative technology to facilitate the full lifecycle of a tendering process, for both buyers and suppliers, offering a secure interactive, dynamic environment for procurements of any nature, size, complexity or value (above and below OJEU thresholds), enforcing (where appropriate) and encouraging recognised best practices (i.e. gateway reviews, standardised templates, e-Auctions, etc.). e-Procurement includes collaborative technology in support of tendering and contract management activities by enabling geographically dispersed groups of internal stakeholders to share best practices.

What does EUROPEAN DYNAMICS offer?

EUROPEAN DYNAMICS is the creator of the Electronic Public Procurement System (e-PPS). e-PPS is an open, secure , interoperable and re-configurable e-Procurement modular platform, addressing the full lifecycle of e-Procurement.

Through the e-PPS's accredited e-Notification module, Contracting Authorities can publish transparently all official contract notices directly to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).

Support for all Procurement Procedures:

e-PPS supports “One-off Procurements”, such as Open, Restricted, Negotiated, Accelerated and Competitive Dialogue Procedures, as well as “Repetitive Procurements”, such as Framework Agreements / Contracts and Dynamic Purchasing Systems.

Secure Environment:

The e-PPS platform ensures the equal treatment of all financial institutions and the transparency of competitions by adopting recognised and acceptable models, related to the protection of sensitive information. e-PPS is in full compliance with ISO 27001 and has received Impact Level 3 accreditation according to the HMG Information Security Standards.

Time-Stamping:

In order to record the exact time that a tender is submitted, and avoid the possibility of any disputes or objections, the e-PPS platform uses the services of an independent time-stamping authority. The exact time of the submission of a tender is stored in the database of the independent authority and is also sent to the Supplier/Economic Operator.
