Foreword

In 2022, the National Business Association of Colombia (ANDI) and the Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development (OECD) agreed that the OECD would conduct an analysis and evaluation of information and communication technology (ICT) procurement practices and processes in three Latin American countries: Chile, Colombia and Mexico. The OECD would focus on analysing practices related to competitive neutrality and market engagement in the procurement of computers and laptops, in light of the principles established in the 2015 OECD Recommendation of the Council on Public Procurement. The objective was to identify best practices and areas of opportunity and to develop evidence-based recommendations. The recommendations in this report are aimed at improving competition, efficiency, effectiveness, neutrality and dialogue with markets in the procurement of computers in Latin America.
