The meeting agreed an exchange of framework agreements between member states to pave the way for a regional e-procurement system.
“The aim of these efforts is to promote cooperation among the gulf states with regard to information technology and communications,” said the e-Government Authority Bahrain in a statement.
“It also aims to exchange experiences in the implementation of joint projects, such as the guidelines for the conclusion of framework agreements prepared by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the framework agreements concluded or to be concluded by the member states with international ITC companies and other procedures for the procurement processes in all member states to formulate a unified gulf framework for e-procurement,” it added.
