The 2024 OECD Survey on Public Procurement tracks the implementation of the 2015 OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement across OECD and Partner countries to observe general trends and the progress made.\n \t
\nThe content of the 2024 database was collected using an online questionnaire and a glossary was also provided to guide respondents.\n\t
\n \tThe 2024 dataset provides information on the 12 principles of the Recommendation on Public Procurement:\n
\n\tThe 2023 database comprises responses from 35 OECD countries1 and 5 accession countries and the data refers only to central/federal government practices as of 2024. Survey respondents were country delegates responsible for procurement policies at the central government level and senior officials in central purchasing bodies. The content of the database draws heavily upon self-reporting from governments representing the country’s own assessment of current practices and procedures.\n
\n\tResults of the survey were published in the 2024 Report on Implementing the OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement in OECD and Partner Countries. \n\t
