Bangladesh e-GP System


12/16


13/16

eGP system is not an off-the-self ready-made product, it

needs to be developed based on procurement methods, level

of bureaucracy, procurement culture.

Requirement of complying with the legal instrument (PPA

and PPR..), resulted extensive requirements of the

understanding of the Acts and Rules by the developers (SRS)

Requirements are not always correctly understood and

requires a lot of reworks or revisit the source codes for fixes .

eGP Implementation:Development issues/challenges


14/16

Thorough need for detection of bugs and fixing or debugging

need for thorough checking of program logic.

Several unnoticed bugs warrant for more insight thinking on

the program logic and lead to change for better resultsCRs

Huge review requirements calls for time, human resources

and patience.

Some bugs require fixing in the production environment

which may lead to loss of confidence among the user and

create mistrust.

eGP Implementation:Development issues/challenges


15/16

Ensuring password security in the operation is of high needbut careless users sometimes operate carelessly threateningthe security.

Workflow management knowledge and skills of PEs and usersskills to operate users functionalities is of prime importancebut weaknesses are observed.

Tremendous need of eGP training for the users calls forhuman and monetary resources.

Difficulties in customizing manual STDs incorporating the eGPneed: development of eSTD
