Abstract

RINCON SALCEDO, Javier G. THE "CHAOS" OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT LEGISLATION IN COLOMBIA. Vniversitas [online]. 2012, n.125, pp.319-337. ISSN 0041-9060.

This article presents a reflection on the effects resulting from the dysfunction in issuing rules on public procurement in colombia. A reflection which, concentrated on the analysis of the activities of auditing contracts, seeks to demonstrate how regulatory dysfunctions interfere from achieving adequate standards of efficiency in the development of the civil service. Also, this article, reflecting on the practical implications of the dysfunctions of regulatory, tries to put in evidence that, contrary to what the colombian government sustains, the rules of public procurement are not clear and have multiple inconsistencies that contribute to inefficiency in the performance of public management.

Keywords : Public procurement; efficiency; public management; supervision; monitoring; regulatory dysfunction; corruption.
