“…However, it is still hampered by public distrust of the online payment system or due to elders' limited digital competencies. The government also simplifies the electronic procurement system during the pandemic to ensure that development activities stay in progress (Preda, 2020). COVID-19 handling was influenced by the geopolitical condition of the war in Ukraine.…”

COVID-19 pandemic was reported to modify people’s behaviour in using public spaces and accessing services. This fact has become a critical input related to future city development strategies, space arrangements, and the implementation of smart city. Therefore, this study aims to 1) Identify efforts in several cities during COVID-19 pandemic, specifically concerning the use of public spaces and services, and 2) Compile the outlines of future urban planning strategies after the pandemic. The aspects related to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), space arrangement, and urban environment are discussed. The analysis is based on case studies in four capital cities, namely Jakarta, Paris, Bucharest, and Canberra. Furthermore, field observations and in-depth interviews are used to emphasize changes in the function and use of public spaces and services during and after the pandemic. The result shows that differences and common elements configure the transformations of urban spaces since changes in the use of public spaces are closely connected to efforts to combat the pandemic. Meanwhile, in public services, changes are associated with the increasing use of ICT and Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, cities need to show their visions according to the local conditions supporting better spatial arrangement and management of urban environment due to ICT and IoT prominence.

“…Most work on public procurement during the COVID-19 pandemic has appeared in journalistic accounts in popular media, with little theoretical advancement. There are some insights in country-specific studies, particularly for the USA (Atkinson et al , 2020; Sadiq and Kessa, 2020; Vecchi et al , 2020), China (Mei, 2020; He et al , 2020; Chong, 2020), Europe (McEvoy and Ferri, 2020; Preda, 2020; Turudić, 2020) and South Africa (Mathiba, 2020). Some of these studies have focused on the experience of stakeholders; others have explained the prevailing procedures, both in terms of practice as well as on responses that came out as a response to the pandemic.…”

Purpose The paper examines the public procurement experiences of India and China during the Covid-19 pandemic and locates them in a framework it proposes. The paper aims to enrich the knowledge of how public procurement could be strategically used in emergencies. Design/methodology/approach For the two countries, the paper sieved through government orders and notifications promulgated during and for the pandemic, examined the prevailing laws and statutes that were invoked and comprehensively scanned online news portals to gather evidence. In addition, the author also engaged with select, relevant people in the sector who offered useful information about ground-level scenario. Findings It is found that as compared to China, in India (a) despite the presence of significant flexibilities, (b) there was a little divergence from standard procurement practices, perhaps explained by (c) weaker governance capacity and legitimacy, (c) more allocative (rather than structural) goals of procurement and (d) higher levels of centralization. Research limitations/implications The findings of this paper are based entirely on secondary evidence limited to health care as a category of spend. This paper looks at two large countries and not their internal variations in procurement quality. The framework can also be enriched further by drawing additional categories to make the theoretical framework more promising. Practical implications The underlying design and motivation of public procurement policies in India need significant changes to make procurement policies responsive to disasters. Also, one can learn decentralization during emergency from the otherwise centralized politics in China. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to compare pandemic procurement-related policies of the two large countries across the Himalayan border. It also attempts to develop a scale/framework on which emergency procurement in countries can be assessed.

The study aimed at investigating the emergence procurement issues and pandemics. This investigation came following a number of cases (>80%) over the procured materials found not to meet the requirements. The study was carried out in Mbeya City where 97 respondents from 2 public (30 respondents) and 3 private (67 respondents) procuring entities were involved. This sample frame was obtained by applying the systematic sampling technique. Indeed, data from this sample frame were primarily collected using questionnaire and secondarily by reviewing journals and reading books. The collected and processed data were analyzed using incremental and absolute fit indices. From the analysis it was found that emergence procurement is the result of being not effectively plan for procurement of materials (RMSEA>0.07). It is from ineffective planning for materials to be procured that found to cause the revealed splitting of orders (RMR<0.08; X2>0.05), inefficient use of scarce resources (GFI>0.90; X2>0.05) and non retention of customers (NNFI>0.95; X2 >0.05). It is from this discrepancy found, thus this study recommends that the procuring entities should be used to procurement planning.
