There are many books covering Procurement, mainly of products and goods; but only few cover the procurement of services. It has long been thought by the authors that a specific book covering this procurement was needed, as buying services represents far more complex challenges than buying tangible products and goods. The style of the book is direct with little jargon. It covers all of the basics as well as providing detailed and wider discussions to encourage thought and practical application. To facilitate practical application, the book is illustrated by case studies and application checklists. The contents cover the following main sections: Procurement Objectives, Services: Definition and specific characteristics, Outsourcing, Public Sector Service Procurement, Services Contexts, Supplier Relationship Management

Practical Contract Management

Author:

Ray Carter, Steve Kirby and Alan Oxenbury

Binding:

Paperback

ISBN:

Price:

£16.95

Description:

This book is about Contract Management. As a subject, this has tended to be viewed as being very much the junior partner in the procurement cycle or the part of the process that is somebody else’s problem. There are many first class texts on how to manage the procurement cycle right up to the award of contract and this textbook in no way attempts to compete with them. We are attempting to fill a perceived gap in the general literature by giving some practical advice to those who are responsible for managing contracts, but struggle to find a single textbook covering the subject.
