ABSTRACT
Focus on public procurement has never been at a higher level. Yet public procurement still lags far behind private sector procurement in scientific analysis and accumulated knowledge. Papers about public procurement are usually either in documentary form (explaining the situation in a certain country, e.g. the international section in the Journal of Public Procurement) or limited to a specific aspect (legal, e.g. Public Procurement Law Review, or administrative, e.g. Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management).
