Public Sector Procurement

Public sector procurement refers to the process by which government agencies and public organizations acquire goods, services, and works from external suppliers. This process is governed by specific regulations to ensure transparency, fairness, and value for taxpayers' money. It involves several steps: identifying needs, inviting bids, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts. Effective procurement helps manage public resources responsibly, supports local economies, and encourages competition among suppliers, ultimately aiming to deliver the best outcomes for the community while adhering to legal and ethical standards.
