Workshop on Strategic Procurement in Public Sector

One of the consequences of the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008 was an attempt to reduce public spending in order to control public debt. This trend has affected government procurement for its significant share in public spending.

These strategies include public e-procurement, centralized purchasing or framework agreements
