The objective of the Electronic Procurement Platform is to link the buyer and the supplier together in a collective and future-oriented infrastructure, where the participants can exchange necessary electronic business documents based on international standards, and shall contribute to efficiency improvements through:
- Better procurements: price gains on agreements can be reached through well defined procurement strategies; increased loyalty to agreements already entered into and an improved basis for entering into new agreements.
- Simplified procurements: less administration and time-saving measures through more effective and simplified routines, including re-use of information throughout the procurement process.
- More secure procurements: less wrong-doings, improved control and traceability through electronic and transparent processes where support for compliance to procurement regulations is incorporated in the working processes.
- Stimulate the supplier market in Norway to develop their skills level of electronic commerce (electronic catalogue production, integrated business processes for order, order response and invoice), thereby increasing their competitiveness.
