El Decreto Ley 4170 de 2011 (Decreto Ley 4170, 2011) estableció, entre otras funciones de la Agencia Nacional de Contratación Pública - Colombia Compra Eficiente, la de construir herramientas ...orientadas a la organización y articulación de los partícipes en los procesos de compras y contratación pública, con el fin de lograr una mayor eficiencia, transparencia y optimización de los recursos del Estado.
El convenio arbitral reside, por naturaleza, en la voluntad de las partes de someter sus controversias al fuero arbitral, renunciando a la jurisdicción ordinaria. Sin embargo, en el marco de los ...contratos públicos, el convenio arbitral no presenta las notas de voluntariedad que existen en los contratos privados, precisamente por la naturaleza pública de la entidad contratante, lo que significa que esta se sujeta al principio de legalidad, no teniendo autonomía de la voluntad. En este trabajo se pretende demostrar que, como consecuencia de ello, se producen convenios arbitrales desequilibrados a favor de las entidades públicas que predisponen su contenido. En efecto, la inexistente posibilidad del contratista de determinar el contenido del convenio arbitral tiene como efecto que la entidad contratante predisponga su contenido, de manera tal que le beneficie de forma desproporcionada en detrimento del contratista, provocando una situación ineficiencia. El legislador, consciente de ello, ha dispuesto progresivamente reglas que buscan otorgar mayores derechos al postor y restringir la discrecionalidad de la entidad; sin embargo, dichas medidas no parecen ser suficientemente satisfactorias. En dicho contexto, se propone una respuesta desde la intervención legal en el contenido del referido convenio, de manera que se asegure, desde su regulación ex ante, que el contenido del convenio arbitral será equilibrado.
This upper-level open access textbook uses an interdisciplinary perspective to discuss the ‘what and why’ of public procurement, providing insight into the ‘how’ of contemporary procurement in the ...public sector. The authors use theories and exemplary practices to show the next generation of public procurement professionals how public value can be created via the acquisition of works, supplies, or services by organizations operating in the public domain. Perfectly tailored to university students in public administration, law, economics, or management and those in executive education, the book first describes and explains the public procurement process, the concept of public value, the legal context of procurement and how the procurement function is organized in public organizations. The book subsequently explains how a procurement policy can be developed and translated into a procurement strategy, how tenders can be organized, suppliers selected, and contracts designed and evaluated. A final discussion chapter addresses the changes and developments in public procurement and how public procurement is moving forward. The reader of this innovative and accessible book will therefore not only learn what public procurement entails, but also how they can become a professional change agent in the field of public procurement. Forward-thinking and comprehensive, this book offers ideal reading for anyone interested in public procurement.
The competitive advantage purchasing provides has been debated for decades. For a novel perspective we derive a theoretical framework grounded in the knowledge-based view in order to examine how ...purchasing knowledge and purchasing integration impact cost and strategic performance. The derived hypotheses are tested based on extensive secondary data from a large European multinational utility company. The 179 studied ‘purchasing-internal client relationships’ contain real contracted savings data and internal client ratings of purchasing knowledge, purchasing integration and strategic purchasing performance. We show that purchasing knowledge is a major antecedent for both savings and strategic purchasing performance. This effect is further amplified by purchasing integration. With this study, we extend the understanding of the purchasing knowledge–performance link. We conclude that purchasing knowledge becomes particularly valuable when combined with other functions' processes through purchasing integration. This causal chain is also supported through general knowledge-based view theory. Moreover, we provide numerical evidence of the value of knowledge creation and integration processes to purchasing professionals in our managerial implications based on results obtained from actual purchasing savings data.
•Purchasing knowledge as major antecedent of purchasing performance.•Support of knowledge-based advantages that are amplified by purchasing integration.•Strategic purchasing performance leads to positive savings performance.•Extensive data base of real contracted savings.•Evaluation of purchasing according to the internal client.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can affect all of a company’s functions, not least the purchasing department. In addition to automating and optimizing existing processes, AI opens up new opportunities for purchasers to undertake new, strategic, collaborative, enduring missions. AI enables complex, strategic decision-making in an unpredictable, hostile environment. This article analyzes to what extent AI can improve the performance of the purchasing department. First, a review is undertaken of how AI is used in purchasing. Thereafter, the research follows an exploratory, inductive, and qualitative approach based on a multiple case study of the following technologies: (1) the Synertrade automated international purchasing system; (2) the Silex matching system; (3) SAP Ariba decision support; (4) Jaggaer supplier relations management; and (5) the Ideapoke collaborative ideation and innovative project management platform. The present study’s contributions lie in its redefinition of the purchasing function, of the purchaser’s role, of supplier relationship management policy, and of interdepartmental collaboration, involving, for example, Marketing and R&D.
