Links I liked [Public Procurement]

1. The fiscal costs of PPPs are higher than anticipated. Told you so...

2. Aragon Regional Government trials blockchain in public procurement (Spanish only). A small step for man... Sweden gets it feet wet with the land registry as well.

3. UK Government spending more with AWS. Unsurprising, expect to see more concentration in the cloud space as time goes on and requirements rise too.

4. MPs slam Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) procurement. But somehow, we need more flexibility and negotiations to make procurement work...

5. Manchester’s ‘social value’ procurement boosts local economy. I would love to see the assessment of the "20% social value weighting" and how it complies with the requirements of award criteria being linked to the subject-matter of the contract.
