"How does the public sector manage the vast sums spent annually on goods and services? For individual municipalities, counties, and state agencies it is, in practical terms, about obtaining resources that enable them to deliver the services they are obligated to deliver. For Parliament and the government, it is not just about securing the production of goods and services here and now, but about how we ensure good and consistent standards of welfare in the future as well. In addition, there are high expectations that purchases occur in sustainable, efficient, and intelligent ways and that suppliers are challenged to think creatively – to be innovative. As for buyers, a greater degree of professionalization within public procurement practices is expected.

In this anthology we have brought together several authors who are contributing new research focused on how public sector procurements are carried out in Norway. Topics range from questions around outsourcing, how the procurement function is organized, contract administration, purchaser competence, and the use of data analytics. Readers will also find a review of Norwegian research on public procurement published in international journals over the past two decades. " - "Hvordan forvalter offentlig sektor de store summene de årlig bruker på kjøp av varer og tjenester? For den enkelte virksomheten handler det i hverdagen om å skaffe tilveie innsatsfaktorer som bidrar til at de kan levere de tjenestene de er forpliktet til å levere. For Storting og regjering, handler det ikke bare om å sikre tjenesteproduksjonen her og nå, men også om hvordan vi skal sikre god velferd inn i fremtiden. Det skapes store forventninger til at det enkelte innkjøp skal skje på en bærekraftig, effektiv og smart måte og at leverandørmarkedet skal utfordres til å tenke nytt – være innovative. For den enkelte innkjøper forventes det større grad av profesjonalisering rundt de offentlige anskaffelsene.

I denne antologien har vi samlet en rekke forfattere som bidrar med ny forskning for å belyse hvordan det er å gjennomføre anskaffelser i offentlig sektor i Norge. Du finner bidrag knyttet til spørsmål omkring konkurranseutsetting, organisering av innkjøpsfunksjonen, kontraktsoppfølging, innkjøpskompetanse og bruk av dataanalyser. Du finner også en gjennomgang av norsk forskning, publisert i internasjonale tidsskrift, rettet mot offentlige anskaffelser gjennom de to siste tiårene."

Governments are large buyers of vehicles, thus contributing to pollution. To promote sustainability, policies have been shaped to replace government-owned fossil fuel cars with electric cars. Public procurement is seen as a strategic tool for the government to transition. This study identifies a research gap due to a lack of studies on how stakeholders at different levels identify and calculate the sustainability effects of public procurement of cars. Our approach uses a multilevel perspective to explore how various stakeholders perceive and assess the effects of sustainable public procurement. The data were obtained through a qualitative research design with documents and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in Norway ranging from government agencies, public procurement officers, car suppliers, and end-users. (End-users in this setting are the ones who ultimately use the vehicles). The study's findings are two-fold. First, it contributes to understanding that perceived effects of sustainable public procurement vary from the stakeholders' perspectives and that public procurement initiatives perceive to have cultural effects in addition to innovation, environmental, economic, and social impacts. Second, it contributes to understanding the importance of feedback mechanisms in public procurement to align the assessment of the effects. A better understanding of how effects are identified, and improved feedback mechanisms could help government representatives control the procurement system and accomplish the intended effects.
