Public Knowledge Base System for Public eProcurement: A Conceptual Model

Public procurement is one of the core activities of each government and as such it draws attention of many stakeholders in a society. This is why governments pay special attention to providing frameworks and standards for public procurements that guarantee openness, transparency and non- discrimination of the overall process. In this paper we will describe the EU framework for public procurement that supports electronic business. As we can see the electronic nature of the framework allows for collection of additional data about procurement. This data can be used to create public database appropriate for creation of knowledge about experiences with particular procurement orders. We will present the concept of proposed knowledge base and its implementation within the described framework. The knowledge from experiences is generated using case-based reasoning conducted over depersonalized data. This is why this public knowledge can be made available to all interested stakeholders – participants of the procurement process. Publicly available knowledge base can encourage main goals of public eProcurement goals and make national economy more competitive as procurement contractors start to take advantage of competing for public eProcurement tenders in neighboring countries.
