Public procurement is the strategic process governments use to acquire goods and services efficiently and ethically, and it is one of the most consequential administrative functions in the public sector. Yet few who practice or teach government contracting have received much formal training in its theories, tactics, and techniques.

The Essential Guide to Public Procurement is written for everyone who "falls into" procurement without that training, from instructors teaching procurement courses to practitioners learning on the job. It bridges public procurement theory with the realities of everyday practice, bringing together foundational concepts, processes, and partnership dynamics in one accessible volume.
