Essential Principles of Public Procurement

By Jorge A. Lynch T.

A foundational guide to the values that uphold transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public procurement.
What makes public procurement ethical, effective, and resilient? This compact yet authoritative volume explores the core principles that guide responsible procurement in the public sector and in donor-funded projects-principles that procurement professionals must internalize and apply consistently to protect public trust and deliver value for money.
In this updated edition, the author unpacks the ethical, operational, and governance-based pillars of public procurement: Transparency, Integrity, and Fairness as the ethical foundation, Economy, Openness, and Competition as drivers of efficiency and innovation, andAccountability, Risk Management, and Anti-Corruption as safeguards of good governance.Designed for early-career and mid-level practitioners, this lesson combines global best practices with the author's practical insights from decades of experience across regions and institutions. It integrates modern tools-such as e-procurement, AI, and blockchain-and explains how these technologies reinforce the very principles they aim to support.

Whether used in training programs or as a field reference, this guide empowers procurement professionals to strengthen compliance, promote transparency, and enhance performance in a changing world.
