At 2 am on Saturday morning, the day after the 10th Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was meant to end in Atlanta, exhausted negotiators finally adopted a resolution on “ Promoting transparency and integrity in publicprocurement in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ”.
I was invited to provide an entry on ‘publicprocurement’ for the forthcoming Elgar Encyclopedia of European Law co-edited by Andrea Biondi and Oana Stefan. things going on in procurement. PublicProcurement I. Below is my draft entry with perhaps an eclectic choice of content.
Ultimate Guide to the Insight of PublicProcurement Professionals PublicProcurement is a multi-staged activity and requires a thorough understanding of each process to be more successful with the bids. Procurement Professionals evaluate Tenders based on Price v/s Quality.
Publicprocurement these days is not just about acquiring goods and public services at low costs. Social value is a transformative approach shaping how public contracts are awarded and executed. What Is Social Value In PublicProcurement? Why Does Social Value Matter In PublicProcurement?
The publicprocurement process is often delayed for different reasons. Such delays may damage the Procuring Entity ’s reputation and are a waste of scarce public resources; additionally, contracts are not awarded on time and this results in poor delivery of public goods and services.
Businesses must understand the key differences between the public and private procurement methods, regulations, and goals when c onsidering tender opportunities in either sector. This article, which compares public and private procurement, gives suppliers the confidence to move in both markets.

First, a webinar where I will be participating in discussions on the role of procurement in contributing to the public sector’s acquisition of trustworthy AI, and the associated challenges, from an EU and US perspective. Please scroll down for details and links to registration pages. All welcome!
I continue exploring the use of publicprocurement as a tool of digital regulation (or ‘AI regulation by contract’ as shorthand)—ie as a mechanism to promote transparency, explainability, cyber security, ethical and legal compliance leading to trustworthiness, etc in the adoption of digital technologies by the public sector.

If it is material or product, and I only want one evaluation criteria to be used, which is the lowest bidder, I issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Tender (RFT). If I have a procurement that will be seeking a solution from the vendors or suppliers, and I have multiple evaluation criteria, I will use a Request for Proposal (RFP).
