eAuctions

http://online.ogcbuyingsolutions.gov.uk/graphics/notices/eauctions/eAuctions.jpgElectronic auctions, or 'eAuctions' offer public sector buyers the opportunity to maximise leverage from procurement negotiations by conducting activities online and in a transparent manner.

Buying Solutions operates a contract with a leading supplier who offers a hosted, fully managed eAuction service to the public sector.

In choosing to run an eAuction through these arrangements, customers eliminate investment start-up costs and secure access to all of the critical components required to run a successful eAuction.

Benefits

  • Savings over traditional means of negotiation. This is the primary benefit
  • A full audit trail for negotiations
