Study on e-procurement measurement and benchmarking MARKT 2011/97/C : D2 e-procurement state of play report : lot 1 public procurement, performance indicator

The main goal of this report is to provide an overview of the level of development of e-Procurement across the EU and in the Member States (MS), focusing on the estimate of the current take-up in volume and value. This deliverable builds on the results of D1 "Mapping the e- Procurement Landscape in the EU", as well as on the EU27 country profiles validated by national governments. This report is also coherent with the principles and definitions of the measurement system described in D3 "Performance Indicators Report". According to our research, the overall value of e-Procurement in the EU in 2011 is estimated between €170 billion (low range estimate) to €203 billion (high range estimate), corresponding to a level of take-up between 10.6% and 11.7%. This corresponds to the aggregation of the value of e-Procurement for 24 Member States, including 5 Member States where this value is zero, since e-Submission for public procurement was not yet available in 2010-2011 (they are Bulgaria, Greece, Luxemburg, Hungary and Slovenia). The estimate excludes 3 Member States (the Netherlands, Slovakia and Latvia) for which we were unable to collect sufficient data. In 2010, the overall value of e- Procurement was between €150 billion and €174 billion, with take-up between 9.3% and 10%.
