Public Procurement: Principles, Categories, and Methods, 2nd Edition
Short Description:
This second edition provides a structured and up-to-date overview of the principles, categories, and methods of public procurement. It distinguishes clearly between procurement methods and solicitation tools, explores procurement categories—goods, services, and works—and offers insights into competitive and non-competitive approaches aligned with global standards. Reflecting emerging trends like sustainability, e-procurement, and risk-based strategies, this guide supports professionals and stakeholders working in both national systems and donor-funded projects.
A Note from the Author:
I developed this second edition to reflect the evolving realities of public procurement and to support practitioners in applying sound principles in real-world contexts. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, my aim is to help readers not only understand the structure of procurement systems but also think more strategically and ethically about how they operate within them.
