Abstract

The health emergency which started in 2020 has set off a new request for the understanding of public decision-making and underlying information. During the emergency phase, governments encouraged the use of simplified purchasing procedures to ensure the acceleration of public action and to attempt to stem the pandemic. As considerable amounts of public money have been rightly used during the emergency in the interest of public health, our goal is to investigate the level of transparency ensured by the procedures utilized for purchasing goods and services. To this end, we have considered data regarding all the expenses related to the health emergency through public administration calls for tenders between January 01, 2020, and April 30, 2021. The data analyzed suggests speed, simplification, and transparency are not always strictly correlated, and this could be a critical issue in order to guarantee virtuous public policies.
