The Working Group noted the advantages of publishing information on forthcoming procurement opportunities, such as transparency in the procurement process through reducing cases of ad hoc and emergency procurements, and, consequently, less frequent recourse to less competitive methods of procurement.

For example, the publication of a notice that a single source procurement or procurement without a competitive method in case of emergency is utilized has to be published under the Virginia Public Procurement Act (VPPA), as amended, article 2, 2.2 4303, paras. E and F (available at http www.eva.state.va.us dps Manuals docs VPPA.pdf).

In 2008, OFPP issued a government wide memorandum encouraging agencies to improve and increase competitive procurement and included specific examples of competition best practices, including reverse auctions.
