Abstract

Governments and public sector entities worldwide are actively seeking innovative strategies to adapt to rapid technological progress, aiming to enhance governance effectiveness, streamline work processes, and optimize expenditure. Blockchain technology stands out as a prime example, captivating the interest of governments globally in recent years. Its ability to offer heightened security, enhanced traceability, and cost-efficient infrastructure positions blockchain as a versatile solution applicable across diverse sectors. Typically, governments engage third-party organizations through tender processes for various projects. However, these processes are often marred by competitors attempting to gain unfair advantages by eavesdropping on tender values, while corrupt officials may solicit bribes to favor specific parties. In response, we propose a robust and transparent framework for government tenders leveraging blockchain technology. By utilizing blockchain as a secure and immutable data structure, susceptible government records are safeguarded against tampering. This initiative aims to establish a transparent and secure edge computing infrastructure for tender workflows, minimizing the need for extensive human oversight. Blockchain techniques are employed within various security service models, serving as a backend database with a distributed ledger maintained using the SHA 256 Algorithm. Users from different departments can register and submit quotations, with administrators responsible for evaluating responses and ensuring adherence to experience and process management standards for comprehensive auditing.

Keywords: Smart contract, distributed system, decentralized, edge computing, proof-of-work, block chain, Ethereum
