The Olpe and Siegen-Wittgenstein Districts Take a Leading Role in Egovernment

The districts of Olpe, Sauerland and Siegen-Wittgenstein, south-east North Rhine-Westphalia, have been cooperating effectively since autumn this year on electronic tendering. On the basis of a public agreement finalized in November, all municipalities in these two districts are to be fully integrated into the electronic tendering process. RIB Software AG’s iTWO e-tendering public platform was chosen, as it had proven its worth in the city of Olpe and in the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein for five years previously.

Advantages of Collaboration on the iTWO Tendering Platform

“With inter-municipal collaboration in the field of digital tendering, we have realized one of the largest cooperative projects on a state level,” explains Klaus Brenner, head of the municipal oversight authority and central tendering body in the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein. Georg Schnüttgen, head of the central office in the Olpe district , adds: “With this project, we are not only acting as eGovernmental role models within North Rhine-Westphalia, but also across Germany.”

In the city of Olpe, the tendering platform by RIB emerged as winner among a group of four applications in 2009. The eGovernment solution’s most attractive aspect was its legal security. As the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein had already been working with the RIB platform since 2008, they decided to work in collaboration with each other. The reason: More efficiency and increased economy. In this, the districts also decided to include all the other municipalities in the Olpe district. In the year 2016, the partners expected to execute around 250 procedures on the iTWO e-tendering public platform.
