“…Although progress has been made, the integration of e-procurement technology into the public sector remains far from ideal. For the majority of public organisations, the process of implementing and adopting e-procurement systems is like any other IT system that presents challenges as a result of internal reasons such as organisational issues as well as external reasons such as lack of IT-infrastructure, skilled personnel and standardisation in addition to the related legal issues (Lindskog, 2008;Choudhari et al, 2011;Manoharan and Carrizales, 2011;Padhi and Mohapatra, 2011). E-procurement solutions implemented within the public sector vary from the simplest form of electronic journal, web pages or portals that provide information on tender notices to more complex solutions such as e-tendering, e-catalogue (buyer-side), e-marketplace and e-auction (Schoenherr and Tummala, 2007;Bubeck and Fuchs, 2003).…”
