Delhi, with a population of 32.941309 million, covers an area of 1,483 square kilometers (573 square miles), representing 0.05 % of India's total geographical area and ranking as the 4th-largest Indian Union Territory by area out of 8 Union Territories in India. Delhi is ranked 32nd in population among the states and union territories of India.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Delhi in the fiscal year 2023-24 is Rs. 10.4 lakh crores, marking a 15.4% increase over the previous year's GDP in 2022-23. While India's GDP growth hovers around 6 percent, Delhi is emerging as a state with rapid growth, showcasing an impressive growth rate of 4.94 percent. A considerable portion of the Delhi government's spending is allocated to procurement, and here is an examination of the procurement expenses in the state of Delhi.

The main funding source for procurement is the budget, with additional funds being provided from Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) entities. For the fiscal year 2023-24, the government budget of Delhi amounts to Rs. 78,800 crores, signifying a substantial 3.96% increase compared to the total budget expenditure of Rs. 75,800 crores in the fiscal year 2022-23. In Delhi, 17 PSUs generate revenue through service provision, utilizing these funds for the procurement of goods, project implementation, and service acquisition. Noteworthy Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) include Delhi State Electricity Board , Delhi Development Authority, and Delhi Transport Corporation.

Within the comprehensive budget of Rs. 75,800 crores, a specific amount of Rs. 3,097 crores is allocated for committed expenditure, constituting 4.09% of the overall budget. Committed expenditure by the Delhi Government on the revenue account primarily encompasses interest payments, salaries, pensions, and subsidies. A substantial portion of the remaining 95.91% is set aside for procurement. Moreover, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) contribute to procurement expenses. Assuming that procurement constitutes 10% of the GDP, the estimated procurement expenditure by the Delhi government is approximately 1.04 lakh crores.

From the overall Delhi government budget of Rs. 75,800 crores, an allocation of Rs. 11,189 crores is assigned for the fiscal year 2023-24 as the capital outlay. Notably, the current capital outlay reflects a 9% increase from the previous year. This capital outlay encompasses expenses related to equipment, machinery, land, plant, buildings, warehouses, furnishings and fittings, business vehicles, and software. It also covers the procurement of civil works for new roads, bridges, drainage systems, as well as substantial infrastructure projects such as dams, stadiums, airports, and harbors. Given that many government projects necessitate significant investment, the government may seek loans from entities like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. 

The state government of Delhi oversees 78 departments responsible for acquiring various goods, services, and works. Rural development initiatives within the state are overseen by organizations such as the Department of Local Government and the Department of Rural Development and Panchayats. Procurement at the local government level is managed by municipalities and district administrations. As of the year 2023, Delhi has 3 municipal corporations, with North West Delhi ranking as the largest both in terms of area and population. Furthermore, the state is divided into 11 districts, with North West Delhi standing out as the largest district in Delhi in terms of area.

The Delhi government has allotted 24.3% of its overall budget expenditure for the education sector. This funding encompasses various items such as providing educational kits, distributing uniforms, and supplying hostel items.

These funds are provided for multiple purposes, including the acquisition of seeds, supply of fertilizers, procurement of manures, and obtaining drip irrigation equipment.

Additionally, services such as hospital sanitation are encompassed in the expenditure. Management of these initiatives is overseen by agencies like the Health and Sanitation Department and the Department of Health and Family Welfare.

To ensure transparency, the government must embrace an open tendering process for procurement, widely disseminating these tenders across numerous web portals. As of December 7th, the Tendersniper portal indicates a total of 6667 live tenders in Delhi. Analyzing these tenders provides valuable insights into the government's spending priorities. The most substantial expenditure category in Delhi is temporary staffing tenders, totaling 108 tenders, primarily released by the Delhi Education Department and Department of Revenue. Following closely, road construction tenders rank as the second-highest spending category, comprising 87 tenders, mainly published by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department and Delhi Irrigation Flood Control Department. Tiles and flagstones tenders secure the third spot with 76 tenders, prominently advertised by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department and Delhi Education Department. Aircraft spares tenders represent the subsequent significant spending area, totaling 65 tenders.

The Delhi government annually allocates significant funds, totaling tens of thousands of crores, for the procurement of various goods, works, and services. This procurement process follows an open tendering approach, allowing eligible vendors or suppliers to secure the tender through competitive pricing and strong technical proposals.
