As yet, implementation prerequisites for electronic procurement of services are obscure and not quantifiable. In this research project, organization, formalization, and specialization of procurement and standardization and strategic importance of the procured services are identified as relevant implementation prerequisites. Measurement models for these prerequisites are established and proven through quantitative empirical research. As such, this article is a major step towards a more rigorous investigation of electronic procurement of services.10adigitalization10aelectronic procurement10aimplementation10aimprovement10aprocess innovation10aprocurement10apurchasing10aservice management10aservice procurement1 aReuter, Ute  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/870
