Service: Agency for Public Management and eGovernment, Digital procurement program

Responsible organisation: Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Governmental)

Under the program, the agency is first working on capturing all the data from transactions between suppliers and public buyers. Their plan for doing this involves setting up a system whereby invoices are automatically sent over the Peppol network to both the consumer and to DIFI, which stores them in a single database. The first step is to test this concept, through a first pilot due this year. The idea is that eventually this data can be used to help automate various parts of the procurement process. One initial hypotheses on how this could be done is automated categorisation of the product types that are being procured. It is thought that the data could also be used to provide input into the state budget.
