100% of regular procurement transactions to go online by 2025

Under the master plan and road map for online procurement for 2016-2025 period which has just been approved by the Prime Minister, all Government`s regular procurement transactions and bulk procurement will be done via the electronic national bidding system by 2025.

According to the master plan, from now until 2018, the national bidding e-system will be upgraded to ensure its safe, stable and smooth operation. 
During the period, the plan requires the upgrade of the user support feature and launch of online payment for bidding fees and guarantees via banks or online payment gateways.

Other tasks of the master plan include the provision of bidding information via mobile devices and e-mails, along with the deployment of the Open Contracting initiative. 
Besides, a system for monitoring and assessing biddings and a database on bidders’ capability and experience will be developed, together with an e-Catalog for online regular procurement and bulk purchase. 
From 2018-2025, the action plan aims to build legal documents for online biddings and connecting the national bidding system with other e-government systems. 
Applications will be developed for the provision of bidding information, participation in bidding as well as the monitoring of the bidder selecting process and contract execution via mobile devices.
Another goal is set to start online payment to contractors in line with disbursement progress. 
By 2015, the plan targets to have all information related to bidder selection and contract execution published on the national bidding system and 70% of bidding packages within the scope of the Law on Bidding implemented on the national bidding system.
