Julkisissa hankinnoissa avoimuus ja läpinäkyvyys hankintoja tehtäessä on rehdin kilpailun ehto. Organisaatiot pyrkivät ottamaan työssään nämä periaatteet huomioon monilla eri tavoilla.

JHS-jaosto pyytää palautetta Suomen open source -keskus COSSin tuottamasta suositusluonnoksesta Avoimen lähdekoodin hankintaopas. Suosituksen tarkoitus on opastaa julkisen hallinnon organisaatioita avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmistojen hankinnassa ja käyttöönotossa. Lisäksi se tarjoaa perustietoa avoimesta lähdekoodista ja sen hankintaan liittyvistä juridisista kysymyksistä.
