“…Governments may rely on their own estimations of export gains from GPA membership, but their capability to predict such effects tends to be limited because of the scarcity and unreliability of public procurement data, even for the most developed economies (e.g. Cernat & Kutlina-Dimitrova 2015). The few existing quantitative analyses suggest that cross-border market penetration in the procurement sector is minimal and that the gains from GPA membership are low if not absent (e.g.…”

Since the 1990s, emerging economies such as Brazil, India, and China have adopted transparency-enhancing public procurement regulations in line with international norms. Yet they have hesitated to join the World Trade Organization's legally binding Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Based on the Special Issue framework, this article scrutinizes the underlying domestic and international determinants, and how they influence emerging countries' positions in two overlapping international procurement regimes. In particular, reform-oriented state actors, societal pressure, and lesson-drawing from international templates have induced a strengthening of domestic procurement institutions and turned emerging countries into "promoters" of the international transparency regime. Conversely, the rising powers have remained, to varying degrees, reluctant "spoilers" of the GPA-based market access regime in order to keep policy space and use procurement for domestic development objectives. The article suggests that this regulatory-developmental layering of rule-based governance and interventionist ambitions characterizes the variegated regulatory state in emerging countries.

“…He recognizes differences in public expenditure and procurement under EU directives, and he calculates the amount procured by corporations owned by public entities. Cernat and Kutlina-Dimitrova (2015) uses data derived from the SNA for calculating PP value, as does Konkurrensverket (2015), who focuses on the legal framework of procurement. However, they do not include exceptions from directives, procurement between public entities and payments that are transferred into PP.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution for the unclear boundaries of public procurement in accounting terms. International organizations, public organizations’ national control entities and managers are interested in monetary spend. Public procurement literature and the system of national accounts lack proper definitions of public procurement in accounting terms or are framed by legal procedures. Design/methodology/approach The authors draft clear monetary definitions for procurement boundaries and develop an alternative, more refined bottom-up method of calculating public procurement spend. Findings The calculation for Finland is based on reliable secondary data and shows considerably higher procurement spend than traditional SNA statistics or procurement notices. Originality/value The calculation can be replicated in other countries using the 2008 SNA coding for organizations. The paper highlights the need to address in-house procurement in future research.

“…This definition includes state and local governmental offices and agencies as well as public funded nonprofits such as public universities and colleges. Public procurement is a significant economic factor, which, for example, accounted to 10% of the GDP in the USA and 16% of the GDP in the European Union (Cernat & Kutlina-Dimitrova, 2015). Researchers describe many roles of public procurement.…”

Aim/PurposeTo develop and introduce a questionnaire that investigates the informing needs, information-seeking behavior, and supplier selection of procurement officers in Israel. The questionnaire's internal consistency reliability is given. Additionally, we describe the demographic description of the procurement officers in Israel. Background Procurement science is an important field that affects firms' profits in the private sector and is significant to growth, innovation, sustainability, and welfare in the public sector. There is little research about the informing needs of procurement officers in general and particularly in Israel. Methodology A quantitative questionnaire that is sent to all the procurement officers in Israel's purchasing and logistics managers association. ContributionThe questionnaire that is developed in this paper may be used by other researchers and practitioners to evaluate the informing needs of procurement officers. FindingsThe typical procurement officer is male, with a bachelor degree and is digitally proficient. Recommendations for PractitionersThe procuring side can use the questionnaire to develop better tools for obtaining information efficiently. The supplying side can use this knowledge to improve its exposure to potential customers and address its customer's needs better. Recommendation for ResearchersThe questionnaire can address theoretical questions such as how digital literacy affects the procurement process and provide empirical findings about active research areas such as supplier selection and information-seeking behavior. Impact on Society Improvement in the informing-related issues of the procurement process has the potential to reduce costs, drive growth, and discourage corruption.Information Needs: Procurement 150Future Research Future research will examine the relationship between the various variables and demographic features to understand why specific informing needs and information-seeking behaviors arise.
