la Transparency in public procurement

Abstract

The management of Public Administration is a complex task, based on the management of public resources carried out by the bodies or entities of the State, they have evolved from simple supply activities to become a strategic area from the scope of the regulatory framework that seeks to formalize and standardize procedures in public procurement, with a focus on sustainability, transparency and citizen participation. Currently, public administration faces various challenges in real open government policies, and the fight against corruption, combined with participatory and deliberative processes, evaluable in their accountability. This gap exists between what the law establishes and what happens in reality, due to a high level of discretion, ignorance, or omissions committed by public servants regarding the application and interpretation of current legislation in contracting processes. These characteristics could have a reproducible action in all public institutions, which would allow opening a portal to analyze, through critical and reflective introspection, an analysis of the impact of transparency in public procurement and ethics as part of the human experience to their understanding of government organizations.
