Business-to-government e-commerce or B2G is generally defined as commerce between companies and the public sector. It refers to the use of the Internet for public procurement, licensing procedures, and other government-related operations
Example: – Business pay taxes, file reports, or sell goods and services to Govt. agencies.
The government puts out tenders which companies bid for. To put out a tender means to ask companies to say formally how much they would charge for a project.
IT contracts between companies and government departments are very common. Every public institution needs IT goods and services.
The GSA (General Services Administration) purchases new computers, term software licenses, and wireless services.
It also secures maintenance contracts and cloud computing services.
For example, a Web site offering B2G services could provide businesses with a single place to locate applications and tax forms for one or more levels of government (city, state or province, country, and so forth); provide the ability to send in filled-out forms and payments; update corporate information; request answers to specific questions; and so forth.
B2G may also include e-procurement services, in which businesses learn about the purchasing needs of agencies and agencies request proposal responses.
B2G may also support the idea of a virtual workplace in which a business and an agency could coordinate the work on a contracted project by sharing a common site to coordinate online meetings, review plans, and manage progress.
B2G may also include the rental of online applications and databases designed especially for use by government agencies.
