Abstract: This paper presents the analysis from a study into the key lessons learned from e-procurement implementation across a range of UK public sector organisations.The literature relating to e-procurement implementation and operation is reviewed, identifying five main themes addressed by the current literature: impact on cost efficiency; the impact on the form and nature of supplier transaction; e-procurement system implementation; broader IT infrastructure issues; and the behavioural and relational impact of eprocurement.The research carried out was intended to explore the perceptions and reflections of both 'early' and 'late' adopters of e-procurement.Seven key lessons are drawn from the study and presented here.We conclude by proposing areas for further research, including the need for research into failed eprocurement projects.
