This study focuses on the evaluation of the public procurement process in the Autonomous Decentralized Rural Parochial Government of El Anegado during the period 2023. The objective is to analyze how the Annual Procurement Plan (PAC) affects compliance with budget execution and resource efficiency. To achieve this purpose, a mixed methodology was used, combining qualitative research, through interviews with the president of the GAD, and quantitative research, with the application of an observation sheet. An exhaustive literature review was also carried out to provide a theoretical basis for the study. The results indicate that the PAC of the GAD Parroquial El Anegado is well elaborated and aligned with the budget objectives, showing a positive impact on budget efficiency. However, areas for improvement were identified, especially in terms of stakeholder participation, monitoring and adaptability of the PAC. The evaluation revealed weaknesses in interdepartmental communication and the need to strengthen oversight and monitoring of contracting. This study provides a comprehensive view on budget planning and execution in the local context, offering recommendations to optimize contracting processes and improve transparency and efficiency in public management.
