Abstract

ABASTRACT. Since the adoption of privatization as an economic policy reform in 1976, public procurement by contractual means in Bangladesh has been increasing day by day. Objective of this paper is to discuss the e-Government Procurement implementation and recommends measures to be adopted in public procurement system in Bangladesh. Study methodology included bibliometric analysis, literature and archival document review and key informant
interviews. The World Banks evaluation of Bangladesh concluded that the implementation of procurement process is far from satisfactory. Implementation of e-Government Procurement will supplement the present government's vision for building a Digital Bangladesh by 2021. The idea of a virtual bidding process could save more than 15% of the government's procurement costs, according to a World Bank study and it becomes easier to eradicate
corruptions from the country. As the country marching forward for “Digital Bangladesh”, introducing the system of submitting the tender over internet (like other developing and developed countries) is a very positive step.
