This paper presents a case study of Malaysia's e-procurement initiative. This initiative is locally known as e-Perolehan. The case reports among others, the vision of the Malaysian government in the light of embarking on e-procurement, the process flow within e-Perolehan, and the issues therein. The general consensus amongst both the buyer and seller communities is that e-procurement will become an important management tool to enhance the performance of the supply chain, especially in the public sector. We expect that between the next three and five years, more suppliers will grab the opportunity and benefit fully from the e-Perolehan initiative in Malaysia. © 2009 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
