The results
e-Procurement can be an invaluable tool for governments experiencing difficulties in their supply
chain. The benefits of e-Procurement have been identified in cost saving, improved efficiency and
control. Nigeria’s new platform enhanced probity, accountability, transparency, competitiveness,
value-for-money and fairness in public procurement, as well as fairness in the executive of
government projects and programmes.
The introduction of the e-Procurement platform will further deepen the implementation, workability
and effectiveness of procurement process. It aims to improve the ease of doing business and
make it easier for all stakeholders in the procurement cycle to conduct business engagements
and transactions. e-Procurement will undoubtedly become the essential pillar of the current anti-
corruption war for many reasons, especially because it will reduce human interference in the
procurement process to a minimum.
