Introduction:
Ghana is in a new era of using Information Communication Technology (ICT) for government service delivery. This comes in the wake of the overall agenda to digitize the economy to improve efficiency and coverage. The internet’s rapid growth in recent times has driven many governments to add electronic commerce to their operations to enhance value for money in their spending. Electronic Government Procurement popularly referred to as e-GP is a comprehensive process in which governments use ICT (including the Internet) to establish agreements for the acquisition of goods, works and services. Since the mid-1990s, many governments have actively adopted e-GP tools such as Web-based proposal requests and Internet bidding, digital signatures for procurement documents, reverse auctions, electronic ordering, automated procurement systems, and purchasing cards among others. In Ghana, the implementation of the e-GP forms part of a wider Public Financial Management Reforms (PFMR) Programme.
