Abstract

Contemporary economic analysis continues to focus on proximity as a factor influencing the behavior of agents and their institutions. Recent literature has identified various forms of proximity, notably in the customer-supplier relationship, and particularly in the context of public procurement. With this in mind, a participatory research project was carried out by a local authority, bringing together practitioners involved in the public purchasing process and university researchers. The aim was to identify the most influential forms of proximity, and the research method capable of capturing them, taking into account the evolving and complex nature of the process. The results showed that participatory multi-agent modelling is the most appropriate method for capturing, understanding and analyzing a new form of proximity, one that plays a decisive role in the performance of public procurement. This proximity has three characteristics. It is more social/relational, opportunity-based and trust-based.
