IMPACTUL TEHNOLOGIILOR INFORMAȚIONALE ASUPRA ORGANIZĂRII ŞI FUNCȚIONĂRII PROCEDURII DE ACHIZIȚIE PUBLICĂ

Abstract

The information society presupposes “the intensive use of information and commu- nication technologies in all spheres of human activity and existence, with a significant economic and social impact.” The implementation of information technologies in public procurement offers opportunities for optimizing costs and procedures for both contrac- ting authorities and economic agents that provide its products and services. Using an e-Procurement system contributes to reducing the costs of procurement processes by sig- nificantly minimizing costs annual transactions of the parties involved in the process. Following the use of information technology in the procurement process, the time requi- red to carry out the procurement procedures and the costs for the delivery of documen- tation is reduced, and transparency and real-time public access to information on public procurement increases significantly.
