Many developing countries are experiencing procurement problems. The
problems include: lack of enforcement of rules and regulations, no electronic
infrastructure, high cost of technology, in some cases lack of legal framework, lack of
technical expertise, lack of e-procurement knowledge and above all lack of e-
governance. Through e-governance e-procurement can bring a lot of benefits that
include: cost reduction, visibility of procurement process, time savings, improved
productivity and minimised corruption. To resolve procurement challenges e-
governance must be in place as e-procurement is part of this process.
