WEDUCARE: Proposal
GeBIZ is a Singapore Government’s one-stop e-procurement portal which facilitates the entire procurement lifecycle and revenue tender activities between Singapore government and local and overseas supplies electronically since June 2000. The purpose of the portal is to be transparency, encourage fair and open competition and to generate demands / quotations. With this portal, more companies are tendering for projects hence increasing the competitiveness.
We aim to create a visualisation which benefits businesses in crafting bidding prices and increasing their chances in winning the government contracts and tender. In addition, we hope to give an overview and identify interesting patterns of government spending.
In this project, we are creating a visualisation that is able to show the following:
- Government investment analysis
- The tender distribution of projects to different type of business
- Identify the price range when bidding for projects
The dataset for analysis will be retrieved from database or done by web scaping, as elaborated below:
