Consultation between central civil government, the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency, and local authorities resulted in a joint OGC/e-Government Unit team designing a core procurement and payment process. This process was then developed in Unified Modelling Language (UML) and resulted in a model containing 14 electronic message specifications ranging from Request for Quotation to Statement (of account). These messages are intended to ensure eProcurement interoperability in the UK public sector. These “standards” are recommended within the eGovernment Interoperability Framework (eGIF).
