Why is it important?
The results show the kinds of goods and services that are more compliant with the use of e-procurement tools, trends in transaction volumes and economic amounts and the relevance of different geographical areas and different public organisation typologies.
Perspectives
The Italian situation demonstrates the high growth potential connected to these models and solutions, even if it is strictly related to juridical changes (e.g. the compulsoriness of public contracts). Further useful research would be a comparative study of EU countries that have achieved the best targets in public e-procurement to identify which factors are associated with progress. The findings of such research could enable the most effective targeting of resources in less developed countries.
