Using Data Analytics in Public Procurement Operational Options and a Guiding Framework

The world spent $11 trillion on public procurement in 2018, amounting to 12 percent of global GDP (Bosio et al. 2022). Given these substantial volumes, public procurement can contribute to several objectives: savings, integrity, economic growth,...
