Serving the Citizens—Not the Bureaucracy: A Strategic Vision for City Procurement
Report proposing that cities reimagine procurement as a public service, which can unlock a world of ideas for change and improvement.
In this report, we propose cities reimagine procurement as a public service, which can unlock a world of ideas for change and improvement. The vision presented in this report is based on six strategic measures that can help cities get started (Figure 1). The path forward involves not only taking concrete actions, such as reducing barriers to participation of diverse suppliers, but also adopting a new mindset about the purpose and potential of procurement. By doing so, cities can reduce costs and develop creative, engaging solutions to citywide problems. We also offer detailed insights, ideas, and best practices for how practitioners can realize this new vision.
