The eP has reached RM11.04 billion (US$ 3.6 billion) in the value of transactions last year, which exceeded the RM10 billion (US$3.3 billion) target, under the Key Results Area of the Finance Ministry, he added.
The number of government agencies transacting through eP also increased from 2274 in 2009 to 2421 last year.
“This figure was a 6.4 per cent increase and we are certain, it will increase even more significantly in 2011,” he said.
The eP system is an e-government application supervised by the Finance Ministry and introduced in 2000, to make it easier to undertake procurement matters electronically.
Awang Adek said the number of suppliers undertaking online transactions showed an increase from 17,000 in 2009 to 22,000 last year - an improvement of 5.88 per cent.
“There are 100,000 suppliers registered with the Finance Ministry and of this number, 72,000 can use the eP and 22,000 are active,” he added.
He said the eP system had provided a more efficient and effective procurement process as well as savings in the business of procurement such as through the eBidding module, bidding online.
“For example, the laundry and tailoring services of the Defence Ministry, from an estimated value of RM1.2 million, fell to RM498,305, a cost savings of more than half,” he noted.
Awang Adek said the eP system makes procurement more transparent as the process can be monitored with the launch of Audit Trail.
