Chile's Government Procurement E-System
Overview Recognizing the potential benefits of IT, the Chilean Government established a Communications and Information Technology Unit (UTIC) in 1998. The UTIC was given the mandate of coordinating, promoting, and advising the Chilean Government on the development of IT in the areas of employment, information and communications. One area of reform in which the UTIC was particularly successful was in pushing forward a comprehensive reform of its procurement system. Chile's experience with e-procurement has made business opportunities with the Chilean Government more transparent, reduced firms' transaction costs, increased opportunities for feedback and cooperation between firms and public agencies, and sharply reduced opportunities for corruption.
