ABSTRACT

As the nation sector shrinks and the functions of the state and the government change, the provision of public services, which were directly in charge of the state and the government, has gradually been entrusted to actors in the civil society (the third sector). And this pattern began to appear in China in the mid-1990s. The developing process of Chinese government’s POSC (Purchase of Service Contracting) from CSO is divided into three periods. In the first period, some governments began experimenting with the purchasing-services policies at the level of local such as Shenzhen and Shanghai. Local governments entrusted the provision of social services to designated social organizations in non-competitive way. The method of competitive ‘service contract’ began in the second period. And the Central Government of China formally approved the government’s purchasing-services policy. After that the purchasing-services policy has spread to Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Beijing etc. In the last third period, an unified and systematic institutionalization of purchasing-services has proceeded. And the use of purchasing-service expanded nationwide and increased in volume and types of services. This paper provides basic information and data on the historical developing process of Chinese government’s POSC and this is the value of this paper.
