Elcom, the world’s first cloud-based procurement technology provider, has been awarded a £2.7 million five-year contract by The Scottish Government. The contract will provide a cloud-based collaborative management information reporting platform for procurement data across the Scottish Public Sector.
Elcom will configure its existing Management Information Platform to integrate with existing eProcurement solutions that are part of the Scottish Government’s national eProcurement Shared Service . The platform will also leverage Elcom’s data augmentation, data analysis and visualisation services. The solution will identify and improve commercial risk and demand management practices across the Scottish public sector and will significantly improve the ability for public sector organisations to demonstrate procurement outcomes through the full source-to-settle process. At a strategic level, the system will:
- Ensure Open Government commitments are being met by embedding data governance assurance and Open Data Standards across solutions ;
- Support Ministers in ensuring ambitions set out in the National Performance Framework are successfully achieved for the people of Scotland;
- Meet the aims and ambitions of Scotland’s Digital Future.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “After a competitive procurement exercise the Scottish Government awarded the contract for a National Pan Sector Procurement Management Information Reporting Platform to Elcom. Their proposal matched our ambition to provide a significantly enhanced reporting solution to unlock the potential of our extensive data sources.”
William Lock, Chairman of Elcom, said: “We’re always happy to work on projects aimed at improving public services and our latest contract with the Scottish Government is our most exciting project to date.
