Summary/Abstract: Within the transformations of systems, government procurement could be used as a lever when addressing the challenge of fair access to goods and services in times of crisis as COVID-19. To find adequate solutions and raise the capacity for a quick response in public administration, the European methodological framework stipulates that evaluation must play an important role. The hypothesis is that developing a system of public policy evaluation should be a priority. The main research question is: how does policy evaluation contribute to better planning, results, and future development? To respond to that I investigated using mixed methods like interviews held under the Chatham House rule, questionnaires with closed and open answers, literature and documents review, also open databases of OECD, EU DG Growth, and others. I concluded with a proposal for a design of an evaluation unit, built at a theoretical level, in a contracting authority.
