The paper introduces and evaluates a model for measuring the level of eCommerce maturity for suppliers to the public sector institutions in Denmark. The model comprises four distinct levels and seven parameters. These parameters are related to organizational and technological attributes relevant for eCommerce. Based on an empirical evaluation, it is found that the model is a useful tool for suppliers wanting to evaluate their level of eMaturity. Due to specific requirements from public sector customers it is argued that suppliers to the public sector have to possess a high level of eMaturity.
