Solutions for digital management
Digitalisation and disruptive technologies have now also reached public administration. They are leading to a fundamental change to and expansion of the possibilities in administrative work. Plus, they create new ways for public institutions to communicate and work together, both with each other and with citizens. New opportunities are pitted against big challenges.
Implementing the laws concerning e-government
The German law concerning e-government (EGovG) enables and obliges the federal government, states and municipalities to offer electronic administration services that are simpler, more user-friendly and more efficient. This is accompanied by digitalisation and far-reaching measures to promote digital administration.
E-procurement
One of the most important consequences of the reform to procurement law is that it is compulsory to use electronic communication tools at all levels of government. With the Federal Procurement Office’s (Bundesbeschaffungsamt) electronic tendering platform, this requirement has already been met. The platform handles tender processes digitally – from the call for tender to awarding the contract – across Germany and Europe.
