Launched in 2000, the Government Electronic Business (GeBIZ) Portal is an integrated portal for use by all Singapore government agencies to conduct business electronically with their suppliers. There are more than S$10 billion worth of business opportunities published annually to 30,000 suppliers registered with GeBIZ. Over the years, GeBIZ has accumulated a knowledge base of procurement data and massive amounts of data is a valuable source of market knowledge. A Business Intelligence (BI) platform was introduced in 2007 to help mine this information to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government procurement.
However, like any tool it does have its advantages and disadvantages. As such, we will be exploring ways to help improve current tools and increase the ability to garner insights. Predominantly, we will be exploring network graphs (vizNetwork & tidygraph) using a R shiny application to help visualise the relationships between the Ministries, Agencies and Suppliers. This will be an additional feature which many off-the shelf commercial BI tools are still lacking which could serve beneficial.
