Public Procurement Management and Digital innovations: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

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.
