Government procurement is an important segment of most national economies, accounting for up to 20 percent of GDP in some developing countries. Electronic procurement systems can help governments reduce costs and increase competition for contracts. This enables more efficient use of public resources and international development aid.
The Development Gateway Foundation provides part of the solution with its Web-based tender publishing platform called dgMarket.
More than $540 billion worth of contracts from 170 countries are listed in dgMarket on an annual basis, in 20 languages. This is helping businesses in 200 countries find local and international contract opportunities, while providing an excellent advertising venue for government agencies and others purchasing organizations.
