Abstract

The General Regulations regarding Public Administration Procurement (Law 80/1993) act as the guidelines for standardising contracting in Colombia and form the starting point for public institutions' purchasing goods and services. They also represent one of the most important legal tools for updating public management. They were designed to ensure efficient management of public resources, ethical standards for management and cost-cutting concerning government contracting, based on their guiding principle of acting in good faith. Regarding public contracting for supplying food, the state's goals, through its assistance programmes and projects, is to enable national policy regarding food and nutrition security (seeing food as a right), mitigate hunger and improve nutritional conditions and the collective health of populations which are vulnerable and/or excluded by poverty. This should theoretically provide social and economic guarantees for Colombia's development.
