How can procurement create (sustainable) public value under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal?
研究美国两党基础设施法案下政府采购能力不足的问题，基于调查和访谈数据提出通过协作、培训、灵活性和可持续性四方面改革来提升合同管理能力、创造公共价值。
Abstract The economic response of the US government to the COVID‐19 pandemic envisions massive investment in infrastructure construction. Yet, governments contract out public works and might lack the capacity to meet the increased demand for new construction. Drawing on a mix of survey and interview data, we identify critical deficiencies in contract capacity that might lead to a loss of public resources and further erode trust in the government. We propose a plan for restructuring public procurement systems and offer solutions around four foci: collaboration, training, flexibility, and sustainability. This transformation path would enhance government contract capacity and use markets to signal a demand for sustainable infrastructure and create public value in line with the strategic objectives of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal.
