e-Procurement

eProcurement allows buyers and suppliers access to a common platform for tendering and transacting online. APUC is rolling out the Scottish Government’s award-winning eProcurement Scotl@nd (ePS) service to institutions.

Using a common platform creates efficiencies in processes, time and costs. ePS is well-established and the technology has proven to be robust. It is user-friendly, flexible and fast and can be integrated directly with finance systems. Purchasing patterns can be tracked and analysed to inform future decisions to further increase efficiencies. The service is designed to support transactions with any supplier, from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to multinational organisations.

Go to eProcurement Scotl@nd for detailed information on the service, including purchase to pay (P2P), supplier e-enablement, e-auctions, e-tenders, benefits tracking and latest case studies.

If you have specific queries on ePS implementation within institutions, please contact Stephen Richardson, Head of eProcurement.
