Abstract
The assessment focuses on the degree of
readiness of Government of The Maldives's (GoTM's)
current public procurement environment for making a
transition from traditional paper-based, manual methods of
procurement transaction processing and communication to
electronic government procurement (e-GP). The e-GP
Assessment was discussed individually with informed
respondents in the public and private sectors, who provided
advice or comment on the degree of readiness of nine key
components related to e-GP: government leadership, human
resource planning, procurement planning and management,
procurement policy, procurement legislation and regulation,
Internet and electronic infrastructure, standards, private
sector integration, and current e-GP systems and
initiatives. The assessment found: adequate evidence that
Internet and electronic infrastructure are in place and
supported, little evidence that government leadership,
planning and management, procurement regulation, standards,
private sector integration, or e-GP systems are in place and
being supported; no evidence that human resource planning,
procurement legislation, or procurement policy were in
place. This report outlines a strategy to make ready and
implement electronic government procurement policies,
infrastructure, and initiatives.
