Objective: this research examines the collaborative development of a standard for publishing open data in public procurement and contracting, drawing on regional and international initiatives. The ...study posits that disseminating such a standard can potentially enhance the municipalities' ability to disclose data for citizens and control agencies, complying with open data principles. Method: the study started with an examination of a specific issue encountered within a municipality, engaging a network of stakeholders possessing diverse perspectives and insights into the problem and potential solutions. A proposal to resolve the issue was formulated and subjected to a pilot test in a municipality, evaluating its capacity for interoperability and scalability to other municipalities and public agencies. Result: alongside the proposal for an open data standard comprising three classes of data--public notice, adjudication, and contracting--, the study yielded two additional outcomes: the development and systematization of a co-production methodology to address public issues, and the initiation of a project to establish a statewide network for open data standardization. Conclusion: the development of the open data standard involved the integration of diverse knowledge, resources, and stakeholders. In addition, it encountered challenges, underwent iterations, and imparted valuable lessons. The emphasis on problem-solving and collaborative engagement among municipalities, academia, civil society, and government agencies was an aspect that stood out. Constructed collaboratively, the open data standard demonstrated potential for replication and is recommended for adoption by other organizations seeking to promote open data initiatives. The technopolitical and ontological aspects of the process, along with the perspectives and challenges for its sustainability, contribute to advancing knowledge and enhancing the practice of collaborative governance. Keywords: collaborative construction; standard; open data; public procurement and contracting; municipalities. Objetivo: o artigo analisa a construcao colaborativa da proposta de um padrao para publicacao de dados abertos em compras e contratacoes publicas, baseado na composicao de iniciativas regionais e internacionais. Pressupoe-se que tal padrao, uma vez difundido, pode otimizar a disponibilizacao de dados por municipios para cidadaos e orgaos de controle, em conformidade com os principios de dados abertos. Metodo: partiuse de um problema concreto vivenciado em um municipio, envolvendo uma rede de atores com perspectivas e conhecimentos diversos em relacao ao problema e sua solucao, para desenvolver uma proposta de solucao, testar em um municipio piloto e gerar potencial para interoperabilidade e escalabilidade para outros municipios e orgaos publicos. Resultado: alem do padrao em si, contemplando tres classes de dados (edital, adjudicacao e contrato), houve outros dois produtos: o desenvolvimento e sistematizacao da metodologia de coproducao em resposta a um problema publico e o projeto de constituicao de uma rede estadual para a padronizacao de dados abertos. Conclusao: a construcao do padrao envolveu varios conhecimentos, recursos e atores. O processo incluiu desafios, mudancas e aprendizagens. Um dos destaques e o foco na resolucao de problemas, a construcao colaborativa a partir dos municipios, com academia, sociedade civil e orgaos de governo. Construido de forma colaborativa, o padrao tem potencial de replicabilidade, sendo recomendado para outras organizacoes que desejem utiliza-lo para gerar dados abertos. As caracteristicas do processo, de natureza tecnopolitica e ontologica, bem como as perspectivas e os desafios para sua continuidade, contribuem para o conhecimento e a pratica da governanca colaborativa. Palavras-chave: construcao colaborativa; padrao; dados abertos; compras e contratacoes publicas; municipios.

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.
