In Jordan, the growth of hospitals and medical centers (public and private) has increased dramatically.As a result, the demand for quality medical equipments and supplies increased and require suppliers to act swiftly at all times. Therefore, there is a need to strategically develop a system to manage supplies for these institutions.The Automated Medical Tendering Management System (AMTMS) is implemented as a Web-based system to as this allows the systems to be accessed anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, it plays a major role for the administration of trade and E-commerce activities.This study aims to identify the user requirements and to develop a prototype and validate the functional requirements.The prototyping approach based on General Research Design Methodology was used to develop the tendering system prototype.This web-based system was constructed using C#, ADO, Java Script for logical code, ASP for creating webs pages, and Microsoft SQL Server for database. In additional, the prototype has been evaluated by employees working in this field using two sets of questionnaires (functionality and usability).The result of the evaluation shows positive feedback on the system.
