Accenture has been awarded a four-year e-Procurement contact by Consip, a public company owned by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Under the agreement, Accenture will develop, build and maintain an e-Procurement system that will enhance the way the Italian government manages its procurement operations by increasing efficiencies and ensuring value for money across suppliers.
Accenture will also provide management consulting and IT services to Consip, and will oversee the development and daily maintenance of a new eProcurement system to enable Consip to leverage the eProcurement technologies and processes, said the company.
Accenture Health & Public Service practice Gianmario Pisanu said the company will use its broad industry skills and insights from their global network to support Consip’s mission to reduce procurement costs across the public sector.
"We will work in partnership with our client to introduce an innovative e-Procurement system that reflects superior knowledge of central and local administrative purchasing, supply chain management and high performance in the public sector," Pisanu said.
