These changes have two main drivers. The first is the implementation of national reform programmes in public procurement, especially in developing countries and those countries making the transition from planned to market economies, which have been encouraged by international institutions such as the World Bank and UNCITRAL. The second is the efforts that have been made to open up government procurement markets to international trade both through regional agreements and globally through the World Trade Organisation. These agreements have required many states to modify their national procurement rules or to introduce regulation in procurement for the first time. This book brings together the leading experts from academia, practice, and international institutions to describe the major global developments that have occurred in public procurement regulation and to examine some key current policy issues. The book covers both domestic and international perspectives on public procurement regulation and also examines their relationship between them. Topics covered include the UNCITRAL Model Law and its influence on procurement reform; problems of reform in developing and transition economies; World Bank procurement procedures; the implications of information technology for procurement regulation; the challenge of widening participation in global and regional agreements and of making these agreements work; regulating defence procurement; and the use of procurement to promote social and environmental policies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50711092756753,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50711092855057,"sku":"GOR012430628","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536869159185,"sku":"NLS9789041196620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9041196625.jpg?v=1750872606"},{"product_id":"wto-regime-on-government-procurement-book-sue-arrowsmith-9781107006645","title":"The WTO Regime on Government Procurement","description":"Originally an important but relatively obscure plurilateral instrument, the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) is now becoming a pillar of the WTO system as a result of important developments since the Uruguay Round. This collection examines the issues and challenges that this raises for the GPA, as well as future prospects for addressing government procurement at a multilateral level. Coverage includes issues relating to pending accessions to the GPA, particularly those of developing countries with a large state sector such as China; the revised (provisionally agreed) GPA text of 2006, including provisions on electronic procurement and Special and Differential Treatment for Developing Countries; and procurement provisions in regional trade agreements and their significance for the multilateral system. Attention is also given to emerging issues, especially those concerning environmental, social and SME policy; competition law; and the implications of the recent economic crisis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51796149338385,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51796149371153,"sku":"GOR014405725","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52678580830481,"sku":"NLS9781107006645","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52991604031761,"sku":"NIN9781107006645","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107006645.jpg?v=1752144802"},{"product_id":"public-procurement-regulation-in-a-crisis-book-sue-arrowsmith-9781509943036","title":"Public Procurement Regulation in (a) Crisis?","description":"This timely book provides the first systematic analysis of global public procurement regulation and policy during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.  Through both thematic chapters and national case studies, this book: - explores the adequacy of traditional legal frameworks for emergency procurement; - examines how governments and international organisations have responded specifically to the pandemic; and  - considers how the experience of the pandemic and the political impetus for reform might be leveraged to improve public procurement more broadly.  Public procurement has been critical in delivering vital frontline public services both in the health sector and elsewhere, with procurement of ventilators, protective equipment and new hospitals all hitting the headlines. At the same time, procurers have faced the challenge of adjusting existing contracts to a new reality where, for example, some contracted services can no longer operate.  Further, efficient and effective procurement will be an essential, and not a luxury, in the economic recovery.  With case studies on Italy, the UK, the USA, India, Singapore, Africa, Latin America and China, the book brings together the world’s leading academics and practitioners from across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa to examine these issues, providing an essential resource for policy makers, legislators, international organisations and academics.

Spurred on by domestic policies, trade agreements, and international organizations such as the World Bank, a new international system to regulate this strategic economic force is rapidly evolving--a system this is the first book to explore and elucidate. In unprecedented depth, three international leaders in public procurement law fully explain how the procurement award process must be managed to achieve its goals in today's global market economy. \u003cb\u003eRegulating Public Procurement\u003c\/b\u003e will educate government officials, trade lawyers, and students in how to comply with existing and emerging regulatory schemes as they: select a contractor and plan the contract, with detailed attention to terms, conditions and specifications; allow for national security, national industrial development, and environmental protection; get value for money and avoid waste of public funds publicize contracts; combat corruption; secure successful completion of contracts; balance pressures to buy from domestic sources with the economic benefits of international competition; harness procurement power to promote social and environmental goals; enforce compliance with public procurement rules; recognise circumstances under which discretion-based (rather than rules-based) initiatives may be more effective. Drawing on their extensive experience and expertise, the authors clarify the important distinctions between the realities of public procurement in industrialized, developing, and transitioning economies. Throughout the book the reader will find detailed practical examples and important texts, including significant public procurement decisions of courts and other tribunals; resolutions of various national and international councils; and pertinent excerpts from legal commentators.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52433035362577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433035952401,"sku":"NLS9789041106360","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789041106360.jpg?v=1759176710"},{"product_id":"government-procurement-in-the-wto-book-sue-arrowsmith-9789041198846","title":"Government Procurement in the WTO","description":"In the World Trade Organization regime, government procurement is largely excluded from the multilateral agreements. The plurilateral WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, with its challenging accession procedures and limited number of signatories, cannot be said to succeed in its efforts to liberalize this area of trade activityandndash;more than 10 percent of gross domestic product in most countries. This insightful and thoroughly researched study investigates the special sensitivities of government procurement that have left major trade barriers intact despite the WTO mandate that has proven so effective in other areas. Professor Arrowsmith examines the following crucial factors in depth: why and how procurement practices create barriers to trade the institutional structure for dealing with government procurement in the GATT\/WTO systemthe impact of relevant WTO law on national legal systemsthe types of contracts and entities covered in the Agreement on Government Procurementhow the National Treatment principle and the Most Favored Nation obligation affect government procurementrules of WTO contract award procedure and the controversy over their interpretation and revision the free trade vs. social and environmental issues question in the context of government procurementand the monitoring and enforcement of WTO procurement rules Throughout the presentation the author focuses on specific issues to illuminate the overall pattern of her legal analysis. For example, practical questions stemming from such activities as multi-phase tendering and electronic procurement are raised for special scrutiny. The legal literature of the WTO and its jurisprudence are frequently brought into Professor Arrowsmith's arguments. The result is a new work of major significance-a work that government procurement officials in every country, whatever their field, cannot afford to ignore. The value of \u003cb\u003eGovernment Procurement in the WTO\u003c\/b\u003e to lawyers and scholars in the field goes without saying. \u003cb\u003eReview\u003c\/b\u003e  Beneath its somewhat ordinary title is a work of extraordiary depth and quality.

Two fundamental values of international free trade policy value for money and the deterrence of corruption have brought intense scrutiny to bear on public procurement practices in nearly every country. Now international standards (notably those of the WTO and the EU) must be met if a trading nation is to take its place in the global markets. This collection of essays offers fifteen distinct views on the current status and trends in public procurement and its various aspects. From general discussion of setup, overcoming obstacles, ensuring transparency, and compliance with international rules to specific issues raised in economies as diverse as Kosovo, China, and the United States, Public Procurement: The Continuing Revolution provides a great wealth of insight and information. Although the emphasis throughout is on legal issues, the contributors include not only lawyers but also economists and specialists in purchasing practice. In addition, this is the first book to note the relatively recent trend, in developed countries, toward a less prescriptive, more flexible approach to regulation in which a degree of transparency is sacrificed. The question of how this trend will affect international procurement regimes is perhaps the most vital and interesting aspect of current theory and practice in the field. Most of these essays were originally presented as papers at an international conference hosted by the Public Procurement Research Group at the University of Nottingham in September 2001.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538545733905,"sku":"NLS9789041198907","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789041198907.jpg?v=1760682335"},{"product_id":"competitive-dialogue-in-eu-procurement-book-sue-arrowsmith-9781107023833","title":"Competitive Dialogue in EU Procurement","description":"Competitive dialogue is a procedure introduced into the EU procurement system in 2004 to provide an improved method for awarding complex contracts, such as those for public infrastructure and major IT systems. This book provides a critical examination of the legal rules on this new procedure, focusing in particular on grey areas such as availability of the procedure and the scope for negotiations after 'final tenders'. It considers both the EU-level rules and the way in which those rules have been applied in national systems. The examination draws on extensive evidence of the way in which the procedure has been operated and interpreted across Europe, including from several studies commissioned specifically for this volume. It also includes an extensive chapter co-authored by the volume editors which provides a thorough analysis of the EU-level rules, a comparative reflection on national experiences and significant critical commentary and recommendations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52673184170257,"sku":"NLS9781107023833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107023833.jpg?v=1762296446"},{"product_id":"public-procurement-regulation-in-a-crisis-book-sue-arrowsmith-9781509943074","title":"Public Procurement Regulation in (a) Crisis?","description":"This timely book provides the first systematic analysis of global public procurement regulation and policy during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
