“…An organisation will procure goods and services electronically if there are enough benefits that might be gained from e-procurement (Gupta et al, 2011). Ronchi et al (2010) found five areas of benefit including greater transparency, control, decentralisation, maverick buying reduction, and supply based rationalisation.…”

Abstract:The European Union (EU) created directives to regulate the moving to full Public e-Procurement (Pe-P) for all public purchases by 2016. Despite the undisputable benefits, member states are lagging behind on this paradigm shift. Also Pe-P's scholarly evaluation and theoretical knowledge behind it are still very limited. This paper makes a contribution to the literature gap related to Pe-P's impacts providing preliminary evidence of its adoption in Portugal. Following a case-based approach involving interviews with managers from the Portuguese construction sector, our study aims to understand Pe-P's implementation benefits and barriers in small-and medium-enterprises (SMEs). Results provide relevant information regarding factors affecting Pe-P's adoption forecasting implications for private firms, platform providers and policy makers in the 2016 full moving to Pe-P's throughout the EU.

“…In recent years, the construction sector has made some progress with the uptake of EPT, however, many studies have indicated that the rate of this uptake has been slow (Al Yahya et al, 2018), especially when compared to the manufacturing industry (Ibem et al, 2021). Since EPT enhances efficiency and promotes a paperless environment in procurement, many industry organizations have shown an increased interest (Gupta et al, 2011). For instance, Gardenal (2013) highlighted that the reduction in paperwork and resources when using EPT has benefits of increasing the sustainability of the procurement process.…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the dynamic influences of clustered barriers that hinder electronic procurement technology (EPT) implementation in construction procurement, using the neuro-fuzzy system.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review was conducted and 21 barriers to EPT implementation within construction projects were identified. Based on an expert survey, 121 datasets were gathered for this study. Using mean and normalization analysis for the datasets, 15 out of the 21 barriers were deemed to have critical influences in EPT barriers phenomenon. Subsequently, the critical barriers were classified into five groups: human-related; technological risk-related; government-related; industry growth-related; and financial-related. The relationships and influence patterns between the groups of barriers to EPT implementation were analyzed using the neuro-fuzzy system. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the dynamic influence levels of the barriers within the hindrance level composition.FindingsThe results reveal that addressing one barrier group does not reduce the high levels of hindrances experienced in EPT implementation. However, addressing at least two barrier groups mostly tends to reduce the hindrance levels for EPT implementation. Further, this study revealed that addressing some barrier group pairings, such as technological risk-related and government-related barriers, while other barrier groups remained at a high level, still resulted in high levels of hindrances to EPT implementation in construction procurement.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides insights for researchers to help them contribute to the development of theory with contemporary approaches based on the influence patterns of barrier interrelationships.Practical implicationsThis study provides a model that would help practitioners and decision makers in construction procurement to understand and effectively determine the complex and dynamic influences of barrier groups to EPT uptake, for the development of suitable mitigation strategies.Originality/valueThis study provides novel insights into the complex influence patterns among grouped barriers concerning EPT adoption in the construction industry. Researchers and practitioners are equipped with knowledge on the influence patterns of barriers. This knowledge aids the development of effective strategies that mitigate the combined groups of barriers, and promote the wider implementation of EPT in the construction industry.

“…Studies in developing countries more specifically in the private sector have indicated some positive benefits of technology usage with the majority of these studies being conducted in Asia with just limited studies in Africa (Gupta & Narain, 2012;Gupta et al, 2011;Karthik & Kumar, 2013;Yu et al, 2016). By considering public sector procurement reviewed literature indicated the number of studies conducted in the developed countries' public sector whereby, some of these studies also support a positive association on the relationship between technology usage, especially electronic procurement on the performance (Cholette et al, 2019;Dooley & Purchase, 2006;Singer et al, 2009;Svidronova & Mikus, 2015).…”

“…Globalization and stiff competition between companies have led many organizations to opt for technology usage in their operations to increase efficiency and hence be competitive in the marketplace (Gupta et al, 2011). Many organizations have been derived from the power of technology and at the same time aimed at effective supply chain management, thus making the issue of technology applications in their supply chain a necessary component (Presutti, 2003).…”

Given a number of challenges procurement in the public sector faces also in line with the current trend of globalization and innovation, organizations are trying much to improve their procurement practices through technological applications. However, still there are contradictory results on the role of technology usage on the performance of procurement. This study was aimed at investigating the public procurement performance in Tanzania by examining the roles played by technology usage and regulatory pressure. Drawing on institution theory with the support of empirical evidence from literature, a conceptual model with direct path and moderated paths was developed through which procurement regulatory pressure moderates the path from procurement technology usage to procurement performance. The study used partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) aided by SmartPLS 3 to validate the measurement model and test the hypotheses using data from 207 key informants from procurement management units of the public procurement sector in Tanzania. The findings from this study with support from previous empirical studies indicated that too much regulatory pressure tends to weaken the application of technology in procurement. Moreover, these results have implications for methodology, practitioners, and policymakers.
