Are eAuctions a hi-tech fad or are they here to stay as part of government procurement?
The inclusion of a specific article on eAuctions in the new EU public procurement legislative package indicates that they are here to stay. This is supported by the EU’s enthusiasm for eAuctions in public procurement because of their transparency and the strong competitive element. On a UK level the initial OGC Buying Solutions framework is in place for four years, which demonstrates the Government’s commitment to their use.
