Popis: Over the past year, procurement in the public sector has attracted increased attention as governments have fought COVID-19 - first by trying to provide the vast array of equipment needed by the medical system and then by buying and distributing vaccines. At the same time, large government projects in Canada continue, ranging from Site C hydroelectric project in British Columbia to new fight jets and Navy ships for the Canadian Forces. These examples illustrate the overall relevance of public procurement. In this special issue, we have brought together a number of articles that address important aspects of public procurement in Canada.
