Politics and Law in Public ProcurementPublic procurement has increasingly been viewed as an instrument for effective use of public resources and supporting economic growth in general. However, pub-lic procurement at local government level is complicated and is often done in a field of tension between law and policy.

We argue that local governments should make use of their discretion and be pro-active in their public procurement and thus testing the limits of discretion.
