Beskrivning

During the last two decades, public procurement evolved in most of the world but is often carried out by government officials with little or no experience with procurement policies and procedures. As a result, substantial amounts of public funds are lost due to wrong selection of suppliers and contractors. While a large amount of literature exists on public procurement, it deals with different aspects such as commercial, environmental, legal, and technical aspects. In this new work, Khan provides an introduction to procurement and efficiency, bringing together these difficult and complex aspects of public procurement in a clear and succinct manner. From his experience with the World Bank throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Balkans, Caucuses, and Central and South Asia, Khan has created a step-by-step manual for government officials, researchers, and students.

Public procurement systems around the world are mostly based on the same basic principles of economy, efficiency, transparency, and fairness, says Khan, to which many entities add value for money, fit for purpose, and integrity. It is these commonalities that he considers as he discusses what public procurement is, who does it and for whom: organization and capacity, how it is done: procurement cycles and procedures, contract management, how it is controlled: risks to procurement and their mitigation, and new tools of public procurement.
