In a tight fiscal environment, governments are expected to use their resources increasingly efficiently and effectively. Public procurement represents an average of 13% of GDP in OECD countries and makes government the primary buyer in sectors such as construction, health and education. Public procurement has modernised significantly in recent years, but much more can be expected from governments in this area.
The Global Public Procurement Forum aims at reviewing cutting edge public procurement practices across the world to ensure that public procurement is best used to achieve desired economic and social outcomes, while delivering substantial savings.
