In business, the term most commonly refers to a specific type of auction process (also called procurement auction, e auction, sourcing event, e sourcing or eRA, eRFP, e RFO, e procurement, B2B Auction) used in government or private sector procurement.

(b) The cost savings in the Procurement Division resulting from the combination of management review visits with business seminars in one of the locations.

The savings of 130,100 were primarily in the Procurement Division as a result of combining mission visits with a business seminar in the Africa region.

However, IAPSO's share (US 29 million) of UNDP's combined procurement business of over US 800 million in 2002, for example, was barely 3.5 per cent.

Its meetings additionally provide an opportunity for the business community of the host country to gain greater exposure to the procurement policies and activities of the organizations.

To increase its current negligible share of the international procurement business, it has moved to compete more for contracts, sometimes with its sister agencies, members of IAPWG.

The State level Law on Public Procurement was enacted in late 2004, following the adoption of the Framework Law on Business Registration (which aims to introduce a faster, more transparent and more uniform, system for registering a business in the country).

Thanks to changes in budgeting, procurement, human resources management and the way peacekeeping missions are supported, we now do business in a new and different way.

If account is also taken of public procurement for development projects financed by the multilateral financial institutions, in particular the World Bank Group and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the value of procurement business represented by the international multilateral system approaches US 30 billion per annum.

Since that time, the Procurement Service has been working closely with the other organizations of the United Nations system to develop the business process and implement the recommendations contained in the report.

About 20 per cent of such procurement is performed by field based peacekeeping procurement units.

The Procurement Services should investigate ways in which the procurement plan can be enhanced as a tool in the management of the entire procurement process.

In the meantime, the Procurement Service will organize a second round of the advanced field procurement training programme to upgrade skills of procurement staff in the field missions.

(d) Networking of procurement services

The Procurement Working Group failed to explore the option of merging all the procurement services at Headquarters into a single entity for various reasons cited by the organizations as obstacles to common services, and concerning each organization's corporate identity, specialized operations, or procedural differences specific to their business processes and accountability systems.

UNICEF finds that merging procurement services of various agencies into a single procurement facility is not feasible.

Most of the organizations currently use e procurement for displaying or posting procurement information on their web sites, including procurement guidelines, and for communicating with suppliers and clients.

This will not be possible without private sector participation, which requires, in turn, a business environment that ensures adequate return on investment, transparency in procurement, and high quality governance and regulation.
