This paper analyses the way in which a major public sector organisation undertakes its high tech e-procurements and its power relationships at the interface with its private sector suppliers. This is undertaken by examining the corporate governance of significant high tech e-procurements by the Australian Department of Defence. Comparative case study data of 106 e-procurements was undertaken by the author over the key client development period from concept to contract award, with a view to determining ‘best practice’ e-procurement process. The best practice model links technological developments with e-procurement power frameworks, and provides a public sector client with knowledge to realize new power relationships at the public/private interface through the remodelling and restyling of its e-procurement arrangements.
