Regulation is an integral part of public procurement systems, and through these regulations we can create platforms to incorporate practices and models to update the management of contracts to obtain optimal and timely results. Much of the public budget is spent on the provision of goods, services and infrastructure, imposing significant challenges to countries, their governing bodies and the private sector to develop a balance among the interests of citizens, contractors and public agencies related to these projects.
There are current initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in other international areas that have been developing modern elements in public procurement regulations. This led to a reform of the regulatory structure of countries and a redefinition of the traditional concepts of supply, public procurement, dispute resolution mechanisms, monitoring and control, and new ways to undertake infrastructure projects with joint participation of the state and the private sector. This is why the Inter-American Network on Government Procurement and its members have decided to include these issues to the 2015 agenda.
