New eProcurement system to reduce red tape

A new tendering system will make procurement easier, faster and more reliable for Yukon businesses.

The Government of Yukon has signed a contract with eSolutions Group to develop an online eProcurement system that will decrease paper bids, flag compliance errors for bidders, and improve spending analysis across government.

The new online system will streamline the procurement process with features including:

• Electronic bidding that includes business registration, tender notifications and electronic submissions for suppliers;
• Contract creation that meets the standards of government financial systems;
• Spend analytics for reporting and planning, leading to more strategic procurement and greater transparency; and
• Vendor performance review program management that includes a two-way evaluation and tracking of contract performance.

The eProcurement system will launch this summer with a phased implementation. Businesses currently registered on the Tender Management System will receive training as part of the transition to the new system.
