This chapter discusses the potential of the Republic of Kazakhstan to strengthen the strategic use of public procurement. The transition of public procurement from an administrative function to a more strategic function is a common challenge for many OECD and non-OECD countries and also affects the Republic of Kazakhstan. A highly skilled and adequately trained public procurement workforce is required for the transition to a strategic use of public procurement. Working towards making public procurement a recognised profession is essential for the development of a highly skilled workforce, as well as a procurement-specific training that goes beyond compliance and legal aspects.
