Abstract: This paper devises an Information Technology (IT)-readiness index for evaluating the present IT-related status of the government organisations for e-procurement adoption. Understanding the fact that there are many factors influencing the IT-readiness of an organisation, this paper is intended to measure the IT-readiness index considering the most important of these factors. In contrast to the majority of the indices in the literature, the proposed index is built upon defining and collecting data of IT-infrastructure, skilled-people, financial-support and effective-training programmes. Thereafter, IT-readiness index for 11 state government organisations was computed considering the employees' opinions and using multi-criteria decision making techniques.
