Abstract
Singapore is recognized worldwide for its efficient and clean public service. Ranked 6th in the world in a corruption perceptions index by Transparency International, the incidence of public sector corruption here remains one of the lowest in the world. Efforts to maintain openness and transparency in all government activities can be witnessed throughout the established systems and processes.
GeBIZ is Singapore’s public eProcurement portal for suppliers to bid on tenders published by various agencies and ministries. While public agencies enjoy the economies of scale which come with the electronic purchase of goods and services, suppliers have broader access to government tenders and quotations. GeBIZ encourages greater transparency together with fair and open market competition as all procurement operations are published online.
Using network analysis and other visualization techniques, we will explore the relationships between suppliers and the agencies with which they trade. Are there unknown biases in the tendering process which favors certain suppliers over others? Are there strong relationships between certain ministries and suppliers? Are some suppliers providing such high value services to the government as to pose a concentration risk? Join us as we find out.
