Take Your Procurement Knowledge Further

If you're looking for a clear, structured, and practical introduction to public procurement, this Second Edition of Public Procurement: Principles, Categories, and Methods is written for you.

Building on the original edition—previously offered free and downloaded over 700 times—this updated version features:

Expanded content aligned with international best practices,
Clearer distinctions between procurement methods and solicitation tools,
And newly added reflection questions to help reinforce learning and real-world application.

To deepen your learning experience, readers of this book can also use the Public Procurement Basics GPT—an AI-powered tool I developed based on two of my other titles. It responds to specific procurement questions and complements the book’s content with interactive, practical support.

Use it to:

Expand on the book’s reflection questions,
Clarify complex terms, categories, and selection methods,
Explore real-world applications and examples,
And simulate discussion around procurement challenges.

Whether you are new to procurement, supporting a donor-funded project, or working to strengthen your team’s understanding of procurement systems, this book—and the AI tool that complements it—will help you build capability, ensure compliance, and work with confidence.

If you find the book or GPT tool useful, I would greatly appreciate your feedback or a brief review on your preferred platform. For additional resources, articles, and training materials, please visit: The Procurement ClassRoom.
