Abstract

This study addressed several concepts in the study’s conceptual framework, which were based on profession, professionalization, and professionalism in public procurement. It also discussed the importance of professionalizing public procurement functions and its impact on public procurement performance (Angaw, 2020). The study also aimed to analyze the most prominent global practices in raising the efficiency and capabilities of public procurement workers to reach complete professionalism in public procurement. The paper attempted to investigate the possibility of professionalism in public procurement and its effects on the good governance of state contracts. The paper relied on two basic research approaches, namely the descriptive analytical approach and the comparative approach. The study concluded that there are experiences of several distinguished countries, such as the United States of America and New Zealand, and their successes, which worked on the practical qualification of public procurement workers and their interest in reaching professionalism in this profession and created specialized academic degrees in public procurement. The main finding is that the USA and New Zealand have made great progress in professionalizing public procurement jobs, which may help Egypt as a guideline for reforming these jobs.
