Procuring IT solutions in the public sector follows its own rules.
And it is precisely these rules that often delay projects—not the technology itself.
In practice, it becomes clear time and again:
The biggest challenge is not selecting the right software or infrastructure, but a structured procurement process that complies with public procurement law.
The reality of IT procurement in public institutions
In discussions with administrations and public contracting authorities, it quickly becomes clear just how complex the framework conditions really are.
Typical challenges include, among others:
No simple ordering processes (e.g., no Amazon orders)
Advance payment is generally excluded
Tenders are subject to clear public procurement requirements
Reference offers must be robust, transparent, and comparable
Extensive review and documentation obligations
These factors often lead to a high level of coordination effort between specialist departments, IT, and decision-makers.
The consequences: delays and uncertainty
Even with clearly defined requirements, these framework conditions create typical issues:
Delayed project starts
Uncertainty in decision-making
Limited comparability of offers
High internal resource effort
Not infrequently, projects fail not because of the solution—but because of a lack of structure in the process.
