Abstract

The clear definition of the responsibility of the main body of the government’s purchase of public services plays an important role in promoting the development of this policy instrument. From the perspective of policy analysis, the process of government purchase of public services includes four stages: design preparation, contract signing, contract management, and ex-post evaluation. The government assumes different responsibilities at different stages; it assumes the responsibility of selecting public service projects at the design preparation stage; it assumes the responsibility of selecting the main contractor at the contract signing stage; it assumes the responsibility of contract management at the contract management stage; it assumes the responsibility of assessing the effectiveness of the supply at the ex-post evaluation stage; and it assumes the responsibility of supervision throughout the entire process of purchasing public services. The government can take certain measures to reinforce the assumption of the main responsibility.
