New roles for end-users in innovative public procurement: case study on user engaging property procurement

‘Double-taxing’ Indigenous business: exploring the effects of political discourse on the transfer of public procurement policy

“…We found that the more Indigenous voices were missing from the discourse and debate surrounded the policy, the more responsibility was shifted onto them. This finding aligns with prior research on public procurement which highlights the limited involvement of the users, beneficiaries or general public in the development of public procurement policy, and calls for marginalized voices to be deeply involved in the development of public procurement policies (Erridge 2007;Mouraviev and Kakabadse 2015;Torvinen and Haukipuro 2018).…”

“…Public procurement policies have focused on achieving social outcomes such as addressing employment, social exclusion, and economic development of small and minority owned firms (Erridge and McIlroy 2002;Erridge 2007;McCrudden 2004McCrudden , 2007. Public procurement is a seen as a tool for policymakers to increase prosperity and enhance social and economic well-being (Torvinen and Haukipuro 2018), and is often called social procurement (Barraket, Keast, and Furneaux 2016;Furneaux and Barraket 2014;Loosemore 2016) or sustainable procurement (Preuss 2009;Walker and Brammer 2009;Young, Nagpal, and Adams 2016). 1 Specifically, public procurement for policy outcomes has focused on implementing mechanisms that: (i) enforce antidiscrimination laws, (ii) promote affirmative action in employment, and (iii) stimulate entrepreneurial activity by marginalized groups (McCrudden 2004).…”

“…Public procurement refers to government practices of acquiring, contracting, purchasing and leasing goods and services (Thai 2001). Predominantly used as an economic tool to promote industry policy, public procurement has also emerged as a tool for governments to achieve social policy goals, enhance economic well-being, and promote gender and racial equality (McCrudden 2004(McCrudden , 2007Torvinen and Haukipuro 2018;Uyarra and Flanagan 2010). Whilst the dominant approaches of government procurement for social outcomes have tended to focus either on anti-discrimination or affirmative action in employment, many jurisdictions have implemented public procurement policies to stimulate entrepreneurial activity among marginalized groups (McCrudden 2004(McCrudden , 2007.…”

Collaborative Innovation in Public Administration: Theoretical Background and Research Trends of Co-Production and Co-Creation

“…Despite this overlapping of definitions and the interchangeable use of these terms, there are some specific features indicating that these two concepts should not be treated as synonyms. Firstly, co-creation puts an emphasis on value creation as the main intention and result of collaboration (Gebauer et al 2014;Farr 2016;Putro 2016;Torvinen and Haukipuro 2018). Secondly, co-creation presumes a more active relationship among actors and constructive exchanges of different types of knowledge, skills, ideas, and resources, at a higher (e.g., meta, strategic, or policy) level of change, beyond the service level usually implied in the case of co-production (Sevin 2016;Edelenbos et al 2018;Torvinen and Haukipuro 2018;Touati and Maillet 2018).…”

Collaborative public management: coordinated value propositions among public service organizations

“…Not only do problems like these share a level of complexity, but they also cannot be solved by the responsible PSO alone. Rather, they must be dealt with in an inter-organizational fashion (Crosby and Bryson 2005;Radnor et al 2014;Torvinen and Haukipuro 2017).…”
