> how do you ensure that development is of enough quality and efficiency?

You don't. The state doesn't know what a project needs at a given time, and will try to apply cookie cutter solutions when they don't need it. What you actually do is two parts:

- Give a budget for each institution to spend on open source projects (defined by some industry criteria, or something)

- Force institutions to consider open source projects for free (as in no cost) digital goods, and a report as to why open source solutions when paying for a digital good or service. The later should be evaluated by a central organization that promotes the rational use of digital products, like the U.S. Digital Service, EU Digital Services Directorate, Digital Transformation Agency, European Data Innovation Board, Secretaria de Governo Digital, etc.

These two policies in conjunction would supply projects with the cash needed and foment projects to do useful things.
