Research on the optimization of performance evaluation system for local government purchase of public services
As a novel approach to providing public services, local government procurement of public services has gained rapid development and extensive adoption in recent years in China. It refers to the government's market-based acquisition of specific public services from social organizations and individuals, aiming to enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and guarantee of public services while stimulating market dynamics and fostering service industry growth. The local government procurement of public services seeks to address the deficiencies in government-provided services, optimize the allocation of government and market resources, and facilitate the active participation and mutual absorption of both service providers and recipients. This paper aims to conduct an in-depth investigation into the theoretical and practical aspects of government procurement of public services, with a particular focus on analyzing the challenges and predicaments associated with this service model. Moreover, it explores how to further enhance the relevant policies and institutional frameworks to foster a more robust, stable, and sustainable system of government procurement of public services, thereby raising the supply level of public services in China.
