Pandemics and procurement

2020 was arguably one of the busiest and most stressful years for the public sector.

Public procurement had never been more vital for the nation's health and well-being. All the while, normal public procurement had to continue as expected.

We take a look at the good and the bad of public procurement in such a titanic year.
