Public Procurement Management and Digital innovations

A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Public procurement management is among one of the essential functions of public management, playing a significant role in stimulating economic efficiency, sustainability, and governance objectives. The systematic review of literature examines the effectiveness of public procurement management practices by combining findings from diverse scholarly studies. Keeping with PRISMA guidelines, the study used a thematic content analysis method to identify literature published between 2018 and 2024. The fundamental themes discovered contain procurement efficiency, governance, circular procurement, green public procurement, public-private partnerships, and the integration of evolving technologies such as block chain. The findings disclose persistent challenges such as inefficiencies, corruption, lack of transparency, and inadequate stakeholder engagement, alongside emerging opportunities to leverage sustainability and technological innovation. This systematic literature review adds to the academic discourse by providing a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge and contributing actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners.
