Study of Organizational Structure in Chinese Centralized Public Procurement: Based on Curbing Corruption for Public Procurement
This paper explores current practices of public procurement in China, aiming to find a favorable organizational structure with an emphasis on curbing corruption. We selected three representative Procurement Centers and conducted in-depth field study on their purchasing processes. With specific considerations to Chinese administrative systems and public procurement laws, the paper proposes a concentrative Procurement Centre with a functional structure as a favorable organizational structure choice. The task environment should consist of a strong Decision-Making Body and a unified Supervisory Agency. The proposed organizational structure (1) can well separate governance and operation in public procurement, required by Chinas Government Procurement Law, (2) can effectively confine corruption, a serious problem in Chinese public procurement, (3) can centralize all purchasing activities for public resources, and (4) can employ efficient and timely governmental adjustment and control.
