In many countries, sustainable public procurement is a powerful tool to reflect on national strategic intentions and promote scientific and technological innovation. Based on the perspective of an institutional structure, we filtered out the core policies. Using policy bibliometrics, we analyzed Chinese public procurement policies on promoting scientific and technological innovation, revealed policy-making characteristics, and concluded that the Ministry of Finance should appropriately decentralize the policy-making work to other relevant agencies of the State Council. This article compares the main policy tools from four dimensions in China, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, and South Korea. We issued these pertinent strategies: establishing the vendor database for small and medium enterprises, developing a grade system and the post-evaluation system, formulating detailed implementation methods for high-tech products (services), and carrying out classification management for imported products. For sustainable public procurement policies on promoting scientific and technological innovation, this article provides an effective reference to organize the agencies and formulate the detail measures. This article's research framework could be applied to analyze other industry policies.

“…Approximately 12 % of global GDP is spent annually on public procurement, while developing countries spend even up to 25 % of their GDP on public procurement (Bosio et al, 2020). Such a high cost highlights the crucial importance of effective public procurement for government functioning as well as economic development (Fazekas & Blum, 2021;Kumar et al, 2017).…”

Public servants play an important role as guardians, guarantors, and promoters of the regime values who are in frequent contact with the citizens. Having that in mind, it is of high importance to understand their behaviour and attitudes on legal changes, perceived red tape and job stress. The aim of this paper is, therefore, twofold: firstly, to explore the influence of red tape and perceived red tape on public procurement officers’ (PPOs) and managers’ (PPMs) perception of the new Public Procurement Law in terms of its benefits to public procurement process and to their jobs and job stress, and secondly, to explore the differences between PPOs and PPMs regarding the examined statements. To answer the first question, we proposed a conceptual model which was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM), while to answer the second question we used the Mann-Whitney test. Both analyses were done using the data collected from 115 PPOs and PPMs in Serbia. The results show that PPOs and PPMs share similar attitudes regarding the existence of red tape, perceived job stress, and the influence they expect the new legislation will have on their jobs. Their expectations of the new legislation as well as their perception of job stress are found to be partially influenced by red tape. As PPOs are not that convinced that the new law will improve their job, it may be concluded that the changes the new law will bring are not substantial enough.
