During the 2 year project duration, the following main streams of work were performed:

  • Analysis of legal, administrative and IT environment of public procurement in WB,  identification of the changes needed towards the adoption of ePP in WB, and documentation of corresponding guidelines targeting Public Administrators and Suppliers.
  • A working ePP Application Framework produced for the cost-effective, MDE-based development of 3-tier, SOA-based electronic Public Procurement solutions, consisted 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 MDE-enabling 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 MOFScript-based Transformation Rules for the implementation of the ‘open’ and ‘restricted’ public procurement procedures
  • Production of four 3-tier, SOA-based, J2EE ePP Solution compliant to EU directives for the following countries: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Republic of Serbia. Evaluation of the ePP Application Framework and the ePP Solutions produced via the former, following both a formative as well as a summative evaluation mechanism.
