Transforming Government Procurement and Contract Management

There has always been a lot of debate over how well the government uses the public's tax dollars to provide security, deliver services, etc. How accountable has the government been in its procurement and contract management practices? Have the procurement and services that were paid for, been worth the dollars spent?

How can IT help make its procurement and contract management more effective while providing more transparency on its spending and the value received?
