Abstract

Expansions in the size and scope of public procurement across the Atlantic have increased calls for accountability of democratic governments. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts by their very nature are less transparent but serve as major tools of public procurement in both the European and American economies. This paper utilizes a cross-Atlantic perspective to discuss common challenges faced by governments and contracting entities while highlighting the need for balancing transparency with efficiency to avoid negative economic outcomes. It concludes by discussing and providing potential solutions to certain common challenges.
