In Peru, public procurement accounts for the majority of government expenditure an impressive 50.7% and 11.6% of GDP, which is in line with the OECD average. This show how crucial public procurement is for the country's economy and society as a whole. It is a critical channel for delivering services to citizens, and an area where the public and private spheres intersect. Recognising the strategic role of public procurement, public authorities in Peru have been undertaking major reforms of the system since 2016. In doing so, they are gradually nudging the culture towards result-based management and introducing a new vision for public procurement officials. The legislative and institutional reforms enacted in January 2016 and the legislative adjustments made in 2017 are steps toward a better-functioning public procurement system.
