Public procurement distance

This study seeks to find explanations for the distance between the intended European public procurement policy and its implementation in the workplace in the 27 member states. Data have been collected through a digital survey. The survey has been distributed among procurement officers within publicly contracting organisations in the 27 member states that publish their calls for tenders on the central European procurement website, Tenders Electronic Daily (TED). This is the website of the European Union where new public contracts within the Union are published daily.
