International Comparative Legal Guide - Public Procurement 2025: 17

As
development around the world forges on at breakneck speed, public procure-ment
continues to grow as a percentage of GDP when looking at sources such as the
OECD. With digital transformations and regulatory overhaul in the mix, procure-ment
bodies are working hard to tackle historic issues around transparency, value
for money, accountability and integrity.



This
publication - now in its 17th edition - sets out to cover practical
questions within the Public Procurement industry across 15 jurisdictions,
providing indispensable information from leading legal minds for the benefit of
you, the Readers. There is also a deep dive into some of the developing topics
through the Expert Analysis contribu-tion from Ashurst LLP.



The next few years could see a redefinition of
public procurement across the world with the development of technology
intersecting with a change in mindset. As always, this publication has been
written by leading public procurement lawyers and industry specialists, for
whose invaluable contributions the editors and publishers are extremely
grateful. I would also like to extend special thanks to contributing editor
Euan Burrows of Ashurst LLP for his leadership, support and expertise in
bringing this project to fruition.
