DESCRIPTION:Public procurement today is heavily regulated in most countrie
 s. Regulation has been put in place in order to foster competitive markets
 \, safeguard against wasteful spending and corruption and ensure equal acc
 ess and opportunities. This has not always been the case however. Municipa
 l procurement in Sweden was for example not nationally regulated until the
  1970s. So\, what happens if procurement is left unregulated? In my PhD pr
 oject\, I use a case study of construction procurement in Swedish city bet
 ween 1870 and 1975 to explore this question. In this talk I will present t
 he outlines of my work and some preliminary results.
