href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In 2019, public procurement accounted for approximately 12% of <a href="/wiki/Gross_domestic_product" title="Gross domestic product">GDP</a> in <a href="/wiki/OECD" title="OECD">OECD</a> countries.<a href="#cite_note-:122-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> In 2021 the <a href="/wiki/World_Bank_Group" title="World Bank Group">World Bank Group</a> estimated that public procurement made up about 15% of global GDP.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Therefore, government procurement accounts for a substantial part of the global economy. Public procurement is based on the idea that governments should direct their society while giving the private sector the freedom to decide the best practices to produce the desired goods and services.<a href="#cite_note-peters2-7">[7]</a>: Chapter 1  One benefit of public procurement is its ability to cultivate <a href="/wiki/Innovation" title="Innovation">innovation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Economic_growth" title="Economic growth">economic growth</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:03-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The public sector picks the most capable nonprofit or for-profit organizations available to issue the desired good or service to the taxpayers. This produces competition within the private sector to gain these contracts that then reward the organizations that can supply more cost-effective and quality goods and services. Some contracts also have specific clauses to promote working with minority-led, women-owned businesses and/or <a href="/wiki/State-owned_enterprise" title="State-owned enterprise">state-owned enterprises</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Competition is a key component of public procurement which affects the outcomes of the whole process.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> There is a great amount of competition over public procurements because of the massive amount of money that flows through these systems; It is estimated that approximately eleven trillion <a href="/wiki/United_States_dollar" title="United States dollar">USD</a> is spent on public procurement worldwide every year.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> To prevent <a href="/wiki/Fraud" title="Fraud">fraud</a>, <a href="/wiki/Waste" title="Waste">waste</a>, <a href="/wiki/Political_corruption" title="Political corruption">corruption</a>, or local <a href="/wiki/Protectionism" title="Protectionism">protectionism</a>, the laws of most countries regulate government procurement to some extent. Laws usually require the procuring authority to issue public <a href="/wiki/Call_for_bids" class="mw-redirect" title="Call for bids">tenders</a> if the value of the procurement exceeds a certain threshold. Government procurement is also the subject of the <a href="/wiki/Agreement_on_Government_Procurement" title="Agreement on Government Procurement">Agreement on Government Procurement</a> (GPA), a <a href="/wiki/Plurilateral" class="mw-redirect" title="Plurilateral">plurilateral</a> international treaty under the auspices of the <a href="/wiki/WTO" class="mw-redirect" title="WTO">WTO</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Need_for_government_procurement">Need for government procurement</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Need for government procurement">edit</a>]</div> Government procurement is necessary because governments cannot produce all the inputs for the goods they provide themselves. Governments usually provide <a href="/wiki/Public_good_(economics)" title="Public good (economics)">public goods</a>, e.g. national defense or public infrastructure. Public goods are non-rival and non-excludable, which means that one individual's consumption does not diminish the quantity or quality of the commodity available to others, and individuals cannot be prevented from freely consuming the commodity, or <a href="/wiki/Free-rider_problem" title="Free-rider problem">"free-riding"</a>. Consequently, private markets cannot provide public goods. Instead the government provides those goods and finances them by raising taxes from all citizens.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> In addition to public goods, governments often also provide <a href="/wiki/Merit_good" title="Merit good">merit goods</a>, such as education or health care. Merit goods are <a href="/wiki/Private_good" title="Private good">private goods</a> which are rival and excludable and are therefore provided by private markets. Nevertheless, governments also provide merit goods because of reasons of <a href="/wiki/Equity_(economics)" title="Equity (economics)">equity</a> and fairness and because they have <a href="/wiki/Externality" title="Externality">positive externalities</a> for society as a whole.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> In order to provide public and merit goods, the government has to buy input factors from private companies, e.g. police cars, school buildings, uniforms etc. This process is called government or public procurement. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scope">Scope</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Scope">edit</a>]</div> Government procurement regulations normally cover all <a href="/wiki/Public_works" title="Public works">public works</a>, services and supply contracts entered into by a public authority.

Purpose of using e-tools is reducing administrative costs by automation. E-procurement can also mitigate some <a href="/wiki/Barriers_to_entry" title="Barriers to entry">barriers to entry</a> for smaller suppliers, consequent increase of competition can reduce price of procurement.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Public_procurement_and_innovation">Public procurement and innovation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Public procurement and innovation">edit</a>]</div> The large buying power of the <a href="/wiki/Public_sector" title="Public sector">public sector</a> has led to the consideration of using public procurement as a stimulus to foster <a href="/wiki/Innovation" title="Innovation">innovation</a>. The activities of public procurement and innovation intersect in three specific areas: public procurement for innovation, public procurement of innovation, and innovative public procurement.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> First, multiple studies have established that public procurement for innovation is a viable and efficient tool to stimulate innovation as a demand - side tool in the innovation policy mix.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Second, public procurement may also be used to innovate the public sector itself (public procurement of innovation), through the inclusion of "innovativeness" as a procurement goal (often as a secondary criterion).<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Third, novel procurement approaches (such as <a href="/wiki/E-procurement" title="E-procurement">eProcurement</a> or <a href="/wiki/Public%E2%80%93private_partnership" title="Public–private partnership">Public-Private Partnerships</a>) may be introduced to innovate public procurement processes and entities.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Centralized_purchasing_in_public_procurement">Centralized purchasing in public procurement</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Centralized purchasing in public procurement">edit</a>]</div> Centralized purchasing means awarding procurement contracts on behalf of one or more procuring entities. This method has been used to gain various benefits emerging from demand aggregation. Centralized procurement can be done by ordinary contracting authorities or established central purchasing body. Centralized procurement is regulated by local legislation. For instance, directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC are dealing with this issue in the EU. Commonly mentioned benefits of procurement centralization are as follows: <ul><li>Final unit price decrease – Higher procurement value coming from demand aggregation can increase buyers bargaining power and decrease final price. Moreover, higher value can attract more companies to bid in the tender, increased competition might lead to better price as well.<a href="#cite_note-:1-28">[28]</a></li> <li>Transaction costs reduction – Key objective of centralized procurement is preventing duplication of some procedures. Contracting units can reduce their transaction costs in cooperating with other entities. This aspect is often considered as most relevant argument for procurement centralization.<a href="#cite_note-:2-29">[29]</a></li> <li>Knowledge sharing – Cooperation in purchasing can also result in sharing best procurement practices. Some central procurement bodies also perform research activities.<a href="#cite_note-:1-28">[28]</a></li></ul> However, other centralization aspects are often criticized. Discussed drawbacks are often connected to the decentralization theorem stated by American economist <a href="/wiki/Wallace_E._Oates" title="Wallace E. Oates">Wallace E. Oates</a> in 1972. The theorem claims that a decentralized system is more efficient, because of the <a href="/wiki/Information_asymmetry" title="Information asymmetry">information asymmetry</a> between local and central government.<a href="#cite_note-:3-30">[30]</a> Procurement centralization might also negatively impact supply side. Higher procured values might require higher capacity of supplying company and it might create <a href="/wiki/Barrier_to_entry" class="mw-redirect" title="Barrier to entry">barrier to entry</a> for small or medium companies. Consequently, it might lead to monopolizing public procurement market. Critics also mention that only some goods can be purchased centrally. Goods that are heterogeneous or they have many characteristics are not suitable for this strategy.<a href="#cite_note-:2-29">[29]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Thresholds">Thresholds</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Thresholds">edit</a>]</div> Under many jurisdictions, there are certain thresholds in value which oblige procurers to publish tender details and information on contracts awarded and expenditure incurred, and to follow specific procurement procedures. Greater transparency and regulatory compliance are incurred at higher levels of expenditure.<a href="#cite_note-:2-29">[29]</a> For example, the GPA applies to the letting of "any procurement contract with a value that reaches or exceeds the amounts ('thresholds') set in the Agreement".<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Framework_agreements">Framework agreements</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Framework agreements">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Framework_agreement" title="Framework agreement">Framework agreement</a></div> A <a href="/wiki/Framework_agreement" title="Framework agreement">framework agreement</a> is another method for aggregation of demand.

In societies where corruption is endemic and enforcement is low, public officials are incentivized to accept bribes due to either necessity or greed.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> Academic research shows that discretion in procurement decisions is beneficial in countries with a high level of human capital, but is detrimental in low-human capital jurisdictions.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> Government procurement involves a high risk of corruption, collusion and unwanted favoritism.<a href="#cite_note-Pliatsidis-18">[18]</a> An important role in this has the great size of financial turnover and the complexity of many procurement processes in which businesses interact very closely with politicians and civil servants. Often the personal interests of the public officials are not the same as the interests of the public. The vulnerability of public buyers to private subversion has led every country to restrict the discretion of procuring entities in what they buy and pay. But while the regulation of the private sector empowers public officials and enables them to extract bribes in exchange for regulatory relief, the regulation of government constrains public officials. Public procurement regulations reduce the discretion of buyers, typically with the intent of reducing corruption.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fraud">Fraud</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Fraud">edit</a>]</div> Procurement <a href="/wiki/Fraud" title="Fraud">fraud</a> can be defined as dishonestly obtaining an advantage, avoiding an obligation or causing a loss to public property or various means during procurement process by public servants, contractors or any other person involved in the procurement.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> An example is a <a href="/wiki/Kickback_(bribery)" title="Kickback (bribery)">kickback</a>, whereby a dishonest agent of the supplier pays a dishonest agent of the purchaser to select the supplier's bid, often at an inflated price.

"Shadow vendors", shell companies that are set up and used for billing, may be used in such schemes.</li> <li>Intentional substitution of substandard materials without the customer's agreement.</li> <li>Use of "sole source" contracts without proper justification.</li> <li>Use of prequalification standards in specifications to unnecessarily exclude otherwise qualified contractors.</li> <li>Dividing requirements to qualify for small-purchase procedures to avoid scrutiny for contract review procedures of larger purchases.</li></ul> <a href="/wiki/Integrity_pact" title="Integrity pact">Integrity Pacts</a> are one tool to prevent fraud and other irregular practices in procurement projects.

The Procurement Framework has four key principles: <ul><li>Needs and risks of a project are analyzed through a Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD). This analysis enables the borrower to have a strategy on how best to engage with bidders. The analysis ensures that procurement processes are fit for purpose, allow choice, and are appropriate to the size, value, and risk of the project.</li> <li>Value for Money is a core procurement principle in all procurements financed by the World Bank. This means the focus is on bids that provide the best overall value for money, taking into account quality, cost, and other factors as needed, rather than a focus on the lowest evaluated compliant bid.</li> <li>The approach to resolving procurement-related complaints has the capacity to promptly respond to any concerns during the procurement process. There is a standstill period -a pause between identifying who should win the contract and actually awarding them the contract- so that other bidders can voice any concerns before a contract is actually legally formed and awarded.</li> <li>The World Bank is more involved in contract management of procurements with high value and high risk to ensure the best possible outcomes and that problems are resolved quickly.<a href="#cite_note-274">[274]</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Zambia">Zambia</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Government_procurement&action=edit&section=114" title="Edit section: Zambia">edit</a>]</div> Public procurement in <a href="/wiki/Zambia" title="Zambia">Zambia</a> is governed by the Public Procurement Act No. 12 of 2008 and the Public Procurement Regulations of 2011.
