The Government of India, along with the public sector, is one of the largest purchasers of goods and services. It recognizes that leveraging electronic tools and techniques to automate the procurement process and offer opportunities to suppliers aligns with the principles of equality and fair competition. Under the national e-governance plan, e-procurement is identified as a mission mode project. Its objective is to transition from a labor-intensive, paper-based system to an efficient electronic procurement process for government and public sector acquisitions. By fostering open processes, information and communication technology (ICT) plays a vital role in promoting transparent, inclusive, and efficient procurement practices. E-procurement enables organizations to acquire goods and services in a technologically advanced manner, ensuring optimal pricing and efficiency.
