‘As-is’ and ‘To-be’ Analysis of the public procurement environment in WB with the purpose of facilitating the adoption of the ePP in the region, by studying the current legislative, administrative and IT environment as well as by identifying the changes needed for the deployment of ePP in WB.
An ePP Application Framework for the cost-effective, MDE-based development of 3-tier, SOA-based electronic public procurement solutions.
The ePP application Framework consists of:

A set of Open Source MDE-enabling Tools customised and integrated into the ECLIPSE IDE environment, and capable of supporting MDE-based development of 3-tier, SOA-based ePP solutions, and
ePP-specific MDE Modules, which are produced by the MDEenabling Tools and enable the MDE-based development of 3-tier, SOA-based, J2EE applications that support the ‘open’ and ‘restricted’ public procurement procedures. The ePP-specific MDE Modules include, UML-based ePP Domain Model, PIM Model, and MOFScriptbased Transformation Rules for the implementation of the ‘open’ and ‘restricted’ public procurement procedures.

A 3-tier, SOA-based, J2EE electronic Public Procurement solution supporting the ‘open’ and ‘restricted’ public procurement procedures. The solution will be developed via the ePP Application Framework and it will be tested and evaluated by the WB Public Procurement Agencies in terms of the cost-effectiveness of its implementation as well as its compliance to the European legal framework.
Guidelines for Public Administration and Suppliers that will assist them to adopt electronic public procurement solutions and harmonize their internal processes and systems with the European legal framework.
