Supply Chain Management

Public procurement remains as the most lucrative area through which government strategies to develop a formidable economy can be anchored. That notwithstanding, many public procuring entities continue to fable with how best they can plan and operationalize successful procurement systems. Equally, many scholars and learners have been subjected to fragmented literature on public procurement to the extent of being left in a dilemma on where they can conduct literature supported research on public procurement. This dilemma confronts the entire academia as well. In order to address the gap, this book seeks to avail a well-documented source of reference material for all categories of interested parties in the field of supply chain management. It seeks to demonstrate how the best practices in the corporate world in procurement may be deployed in public procurement without breaching the established regulatory framework by the public procuring entities in order to deliver the bottom line- superior value for money to the exchequer.
