This report examines how the Judicial Council of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires uses its e-procurement platform, Justicia Compra (JUC), to purchase goods and services. It looks at what is working well, where challenges remain, and how the system compares with practices in other countries.
Public procurement is a powerful tool for delivering better public services, ensuring transparency, and making efficient use of public funds. As a pioneer among local judiciaries in Argentina to adopt a digital procurement platform, the Judicial Council of Buenos Aires has taken important steps towards modernising its processes. However, there is still room to strengthen how procurement is managed across all stages of the procurement cycle, improve skills and capacity, and make better use of data.
The report highlights key opportunities to enhance JUC, including expanding its use beyond the tendering stage, improving co-ordination across stakeholders, and strengthening performance monitoring. It is intended for policymakers, public officials, and practitioners involved in procurement and digital transformation, as well as those interested in how governments can use technology to improve public sector performance.
