Abstract: | Although there is a lot of research on e-procurement, the extent of implementation and percentage of public sector organizations using the e-procurement process is mostly unknown in developing countries. The aim of this paper is to assess the extent of implementation of e-procurement process in the Nigerian public sector in order to make recommendations for the improvement of e-procurement in Nigeria. Review of e-procurement research in the construction industry revealed that e-commerce adoption is still quite low in developing countries, a situation exacerbated by failings in provision of power, infrastructure, human capacity and legal frameworks. Only 40% of a very limited pilot sample of construction professionals was willing to use e-tendering exclusively. During the pre-contract stage Email, Project portals, Electronic reverse auctioning and Internet based tendering software were the e-tendering components applied most frequently. At post-contract stage the most frequently applied components included Project management software, Suppliers’ websites, Web-based project management systems, Wireless networks and Web-enabled multimedia technology. Due to the limited sample used in this study, it is impossible to generalize the findings. |
