Abstract
This paper argues that the present legal regime applicable to the activities and procedures of the Public Administration in Colombia, and particularly to Government contracting, is a sufficient platform for the implementation of electronic government and in particular of electronic government procurement because Law 80 of 1993, the colombian government contracts Act, doees no limit, neither it prohibits the use of information technologies, nor it imposes limits restricting or making impossible the use of such technologies. Law 80 of 1993 actually provides for the minimum standards required for the implementation of electronic government procurement and Law 527 of 1999 (Colombian electronic Commerce Act) provides the legal basis for electronic documents and transactions and digital signatures.
