Procurement at UNDPUNDP is committed to the use/strengthening of national procurement systems;Procurement is key element in Value for Money debate;Importance of Sustainable P
rocurement;
Procurement capacity is key to direct access to vertical funds, most notably upcoming Green Climate Fund.Slide4
Emerging changesCharacter of governance & administration is changing;Public challenges become too big for public sector to handle on its own;Public challenges become increasingly cross-
sectoral
(e.g. economic growth, social inclusiveness & environmental issues);
The lines between public, private and ‘civic’ are blurring;
Public value increasingly co-created by public, private and civil
organisations
.Slide5
Some Consequences for Public Procurement (PP)PP becomes a strategic policy tool (e.g. Sustainable Procurement);PP specialists become involved in policy design, implementation, evaluation (e.g. with vertical f
unds);
PP teams increasingly have to engage cross-
sectoral
and cross-societal;
PP specialists & teams need to balance all this with traditional requirements of risk management, accountability, etc.Slide6
Institutional FrameworkPP specialists and teams need an enabling environment to adapt to the changing environment, but….Public frameworks are predicated on a sharp public-private divide;Public institutions are bureaucratically framed;
Public institutions are internally focused
.Slide7
PP Institutional Development (ID) -1ID is not just about training (and capacity development is not just training);ID is
not
just about introducing new procedures, business processes or adapting the organogram;
ID is
not
about filling a gap;
ID is
not
about rolling out a meticulously designed blueprint for change;
ID is
not
about adopting external ‘good practice’ or academic ideals wholesale.Slide8
PP Institutional Development (ID) -2While PP is a technical process, PP reform is very much a political process;ID works at three (capacity) levels: individual,
organisational
& the enabling environment;
ID is about
doing
things differently, not just
looking
differently;
ID, reforms and change are ‘messy’, non-linear processes, they need change management, experimentation, flexibility;
‘Context’ determines ID at all levels, and ‘best practice’ should be ‘best fit’.Slide9
An Enabling Environment for ‘new’ PPDeals explicitly with political issues and vested interests;Creates ‘change readiness’: appealing vision, realistic goals and change management
capacities
;
Emphasizes inclusive process of homegrown solutions and contextualizing, exploring and adopting (or discarding) external practices;
Builds collaborative
c
apacities: institutional arrangement &
organisational
structures that stimulate cross-
sectoral
& cross-societal collaboration;
Promotes ‘common-action’ capabilities.Slide10
