Abstract: Government purchase, as one of the most important ways to provide public sports services, has been vigorously promoted and made remarkable achievements. However, assessment of government purchase of public sports service in China still faces various problems including that the government is the primary assessment body; the assessment objects are mainly undertakers; assessment method is mainly internal, and the assessment indexes are result-oriented. All of these problems result from: transformation of government functions is incomplete, purchase evaluation system is not perfect, assessment theory and practice are immature, and assessment information is asymmetrical. These problems can be resolved through accelerating the transformation of government functions, strengthening the study of assessment theory and practice, speeding up the construction of evaluation system and mechanism. By doing so can the assessment system for government purchase of public sports services can be established and perfected.
