National procurement agencies

National procurement agencies are government organizations responsible for managing the acquisition of goods, services, and works needed by government departments and public entities. They ensure purchases are made efficiently, transparently, and at fair prices, often using standardized processes and regulations. These agencies help streamline procurement, prevent corruption, and achieve cost savings, ultimately supporting effective public service delivery. They may also develop policies, oversee supply chains, and negotiate contracts, playing a key role in maintaining accountability and optimal resource use within government operations.
