“…In reviewing the literature in the public procurement field we decided to adopt this classification and add a fourth dimension, the process-related aspects of procurement design. We needed to add this process dimension because in the public sector the procurement process has the additional constraint of strict internal and external policy and regulation (Decarolis and Giorgiantonio, 2015) so the procurement process is an essential part of the overall organizational design (Rendon, 2008).…”

The way that public procurement activities are organized has an impact on the performance of public institutions. By reviewing the literature on public procurement organization dimensions this study offers a conceptual framework for public procurement organizational design, distinguishing between the macro, micro and process level dimensions. The framework is tested across the procurement departments of 15 local governments in Wales and Italy. We identify six alternative organizational configurations, differing in their level of centralization and their procurement status within the institution. Their suitability and potential for redesign depend on several internal and external contextual factors (goals, government decision, regulation, geographical environment) in line with the contingency view of organizational design.

“…Development can be effectively supported by government procurement [13][14][15]. On the other hand, from the perspective of empirical research, it is found that, as a financial expenditure, government procurement is conducive to improving the economic level of underdeveloped regions [16], which can improve the macro performance by driving overall economic growth, promoting employment and supporting enterprise development [17], and promoting independent regional innovation [18,19]. However, some scholars have questioned the economic benefits of government procurement, arguing that government procurement will hinder regional technological innovation [20] and reduce the capacity utilization rate of enterprises [21,22].…”

Private enterprises are major contributors to China's market economy. In order to ensure the sustainability of economic development, China pays more attention to the role of science and technology in promoting the sustainability of the private economy. Based on a sample of all A-share listed companies in the Chinese capital market, we distinguished between government and non-government purchase order data, and examined the impact of large government background customers on private enterprise R&D innovation from the perspective of supply chain risk transmission. Due to the implementation of China's new accounting standards and the delay in the public update of government procurement data, we selected samples from 2007-2015. The research results show that the government background customers can significantly increase the R&D investment of private enterprises, and this relationship is more significant in the sample of mid-level government background customers and private enterprises in poor areas; further analysis found that government background purchase orders can promote innovation investment by mitigating the risks facing a company. From a practical point of view, the research findings of this paper are helpful for understanding the impact of customer structure on the innovation activities of enterprises in a market economy environment.

“…There is no much doubt that there has been growing interest in contract management in the developed world and hence the many studies of contracting and management (Rendon, 2008(Rendon, , 2009Abi-Karam, 2001;Okeahalam and Oludele, 2003;Davison and Wright, 2004;Minahan, 2007;Ya Ni and Bretschneider, 2007). Despite the emphasis and regulatory framework on contract management, Uganda Public Procurement Compliance Reports sanctioned by the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority have continuously shown contract management as one of the areas where performance of public entities is poor.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants and constraints of effective contract management and its implications on service delivery since public procurement authority has persistently reported low compliance levels as far as contract management is concerned. Empirical research in this area is relatively sparse. Data was collected using a closed ended questionnaire. Significant predictors of determinants for effective contract management were: clear definition of processes and having in place contract management plans, appropriate methods of capturing key lessons from contract management process, accurate definition of roles and having a knowledgeable contract manager. While the major constraints were found to be: lack of political will to monitor contracts; inadequate capacity and lack of integrity. These findings offer a useful foundation for policy and practical improvement in this important area in Uganda.
