Mexico's e-Procurement System
Redesigning CompraNet through Stakeholder Engagement
This review of the Mexican Federal e-Procurement system, CompraNet, assesses the system’s ability to ensure that public procurement in Mexico is efficient, effective, transparent and accountable. It measures CompraNet’s scope, functionality and use against global trends in e-procurement in order to guide its future development. The report includes input from key stakeholder groups such as contracting authorities, suppliers and civil society. It also identifies the supporting mechanisms such as legislation, policy, training, and infrastructure, that are required for the system to be successful.
A multi-phase roadmap for upgrading CompraNet from compliance to integration
The Roadmap developed by the OECD is the product of the recommendations of the Subgroups under the guidance of the Ministry of Public Administration (Secretaría de la Función Pública, SFP), co-ordinated and streamlined by the OECD based on international best practices. Additional guidance is provided on how best to implement the Roadmap, given the many considerations surrounding the execution of a programme of this complexity. This chapter outlines the course of action proposed by the Roadmap and evaluates each action in the light of the other dimensions affected, including technological, legal, procedural and governance considerations. This reinforces the need to apply a holistic approach to implementation that takes into account the implications of each change in the e-procurement system.
