What Is the E-Catalogue, and Why It Matters

The government electronic catalogue (e-katalog) lets agencies purchase standardised goods and services directly from pre-listed providers, cutting the time a full tender takes. IPW notes that this convenience shifts the integrity question from "who wins the tender" to "how are prices and providers listed in the first place." Public attention to catalogue prices, product specifications, and how vendors qualify is therefore just as important as watching open tenders.
