More than 100,000 notices and invitations to tender published in eLicitatie.
By means of the Electronic System of Public Procurement (SEAP), available from March 2002 on the website address www.e-licitatie.ro, the registered public institutions organize award procedures of the public procurement contracts by electronic means, in which any economic operator may participate.
Starting January 1, 2007, according to the Government Emergency Ordinance no.34/2006 regarding the award of the public procurement contracts, public work concession contracts and services concession contracts, all state institutions have the obligation to publish the individual service contract forecast, the service procurement notice and the award notices, as well as the invitations to tender related to the requests for quotation within SEAP. So far, the 8,166 contracting authorities registered within the Electronic System of Public Procurement have published 106,134 notices and invitations to tender related to the public procurement procedures. 6,028 of them were published in the Official Journal of the European Union, thus Romania holds the first position in electronic transmission of notices towards OJEU.
Thanks to the eCatalogue technical facility offered by SEAP, the 8,427 economic operators registered within the Electronic System of Public Procurement have published so far 20,840 products. Based on these eCatalogue products, 27,846 direct acquisitions have been initiated.
The total value of the transactions performed directly through SEAP – representing direct acquisitions, requests for quotation and electronic auctions as final phase for off-line contract award procedures – is currently 94,468,700 lei; the value of published contract notices is 41,082,616,748 lei, whereas the total value of the contract award notices is 7,147,795,940 lei.
SEAP ensures effective work modalities for its users, as well as the possibility to monitor the processes’ deployment, from the moment when the individual service contract forecast is published and until the award of the public procurement contract.
The Electronic System for Public Procurement – eLicitatie received the prize for good practice at European and international level in 2003 and 2004 and the AFCEA International Golden Link Award in 2005. During 2002-2006, 600,000 electronic auctions took place by means of eLicitatie.
