Conclusion The e-tendering system proved to be beneficial to both Government and suppliers. The automation dramatically reduced flow of paper files and follow up, while online payment transactions accelerated the tender process, thereby reducing the lead time for procurement. The most important aspect is that suppliers are no more required to come to the Government office for tender purchasing, submission and opening, thereby reducing the cost of tendering. The online system has offered fast and more transparent tendering process. The implementation of e-tendering system requires involvement of users from all levels in the organisation hierarchy and commitment from the top management. e-tendering has shown a way to boost internal savings and enabled corporations to cut down the final cost of their products. The uses of e-tendering system do not require sophistication in computer knowledge, and vendors and officers with different background can successfully participate in the process
