The IDABC programme (http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/) is supporting the design and development of eProcurement solutions compliant with the public procurement Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC, by providing tools (mainly, the eProcurement demonstrators, the helpdesk service and the Functional Requirements) that can be used as examples and guidelines. The eProcurement Forum, a community within the ePractice portal, is organizing in cooperation with Auftrag.AT a workshop to exchange experiences about the development of Public eProcurement solutions aligned with the European legislation. The workshop will take place on the 14th January 2009 at the Schönbrunn Palace Conference Centre in Wien (Austria).
The participants will have the opportunity to have an insight into the IDABC eProcurement demonstrators and to be presented with some eProcurement cases developed using the IDABC tools as sources of inspirations. This workshop targets all the European eProcurement experts and in particular those belonging to:
- Public Administrations that are setting up new eProcurement solutions and are interested in capitalising on other experiences and in receiving information on available guidelines and tools
- IT companies in charge of the development of eProcurement solutions
- Organisations responsible for existing eProcurement solutions that need to be aligned with the European legislation
A “Call for presentations” is open until the 5th December 2008. Please contact the eProcurement Forum by e-mail ([email protected]) if you need further information on the event, or if you are interested in sharing your experience and in presenting a case.
Registration is possible via the ePractice website at http://www.epractice.eu/workshop/37. Please note that attendance is free and open to everyone who has been registered on the ePractice portal. Since the available places are limited, interested experts are invited to register soon.
