In early 2010 the Regulatory Management Unit conducted a measurement to map out the impact of e-procurement on administrative burdens. From this it appears that when an offer is submitted entirely through the e-procurement tool, administrative burdens can decrease by four-fifths. If the administrative burden of a file for a company was previously calculated at € 100, e-procurement reduces this to € 20.
There are also measurable increases in efficiency on the government side. This can be seen from the recently conducted measurement of management costs (i.e. costs for the government). With complete and fully-fledged use of the electronic procedure, management costs in the files measured fell from an average of € 325 to € 57.

Society is continually changing and evolving and the regulator cannot correctly estimate all (marginal) variables in advance. The risk of discrepancies between ‘law in books’ and ‘law in action’ is always real.
The need for thorough monitoring is important in this regard. When regulation is being drafted, attention should always be paid to preparation of a later evaluation of the regulation. This presupposes introduction of a continuous monitoring system based on an industry-specific SMART set of indicators within the regulatory impact analysis (RIA). Monitoring entails that it is verified on a regular basis whether the regulation, once in force, achieves the planned objectives and/or whether the assumptions upon drafting the regulation were indeed correct.
This publication describes how the existing RIA method can be optimally implemented in the cyclical process of high-quality regulation.
