reverse procurement
<blockquote>
So we&#39;ve got more than 100 different applications for mask availability in just seven days. And that also speaks to a very different approach when it comes to working with the people, right? It&#39;s not about procurement, where only one vendor gets to create a map, but <a href="/en/reverse%20procurement">reverse procurement</a> where everybody gets to create based on the same common <a href="/en/open%20API">open API</a> or open <a href="/en/machine-readable%20standard">machine-readable standard</a>.

<li>(DeepL) In just seven days, we were able to get over 100 different mask availability applications. And that tells you that this is a very different approach when it comes to working with people - it&#39;s not <a href="/en/procurement">procurement</a> where only one vendor makes the map, it&#39;s reverse procurement where everyone can make it based on the same common open API and open machine-readable standards! ...and that&#39;s what we&#39;re trying to do.</li>
