Legal Aspects of Public Procurement cover

Legal Aspects of Public Procurement, Third Edition provides a glimpse into the relationships between the legal, ethical, and professional standards of public procurement, outlining not only the interconnections of federal, state, and local law but also best practice under comprehensive judicial standards. The book addresses the ever-changing legal structures that work in conjunction and define the public procurement profession, providing recommended guidance for how practitioners can engage in the function while staying ethically aligned. Instead of trying to address every issue at the heart of public procurement, however, the book seeks to establish the history and spirit of the law, outlining how practitioners can engage proactively and willingly to not only perform their function, but to also become advocates for procurement law modernization.

This third edition features new chapters on competitive sealed proposals and contract administration, as well as a thoroughly revised and updated chapter on procurement of information technology to better relate to an increasingly digital world. Promoting a start-to-finish guidance of the procurement process, Legal Aspects of Public Procurement explores the relationships between solicitation, proposals, contract administration, and the cutting-edge aspects of technology procurements, providing a theoretical and case-study driven foundation for novice and veteran practitioners alike.

"This book belongs on the shelf of every public supply chain professional. The text is interesting, readable, and equally relevant to students, new buyers, and seasoned professionals. The many examples bring clarity and are often entertaining." John Adler, CPPO, Vice President of Procurement, Dallas Area Rapid Transit

"In professional procurement we must continually add value to the procurement process. This revised book, designed to complement NIGP’s Public Procurement Competency Framework, will show you how to add that value."Edward J. Pabor, CPPO, CDT, C.P.M.

"This third edition of The Legal Aspects of Public Procurement enhances earlier editions by adding real life scenarios, allowing students to relate the text to the procurement world they work in. The authors’ expansion of critical topics such as invitations for bid and requests for proposals makes this text more relevant to today’s procurement workload. These experts in procurement legal matters establish a solid foundation that should be a standard desktop reference for all emerging procurement leaders." Kristy D. Varda,CPPO, CPPB
